Summary: Rakoff traces the law's effect on our use of time and discovers that the structure of our time is gradually changing. As he demonstrates, the law's influence is subtle, and so ubiquitous that we barely notice it. But its structure establishes terms by which society allocates its efforts, coordinates its players, and establishes the rhythms of life.
