The golden god of efficiency must be honored with scholarly sacrifice. Without new and more interesting ways of proving that the entire legal order is just a wordy supply and demand graph, Moloch will be displeased. And if that sometimes means writing an article about the contractual considerations of running a multinational sex slavery operation, so be it.
Cash rules everything around me, y’all.
Professor J. Mark Ramseyer of Harvard Law School has dutifully penned his offering to law and economics titled “Contracting for sex in the Pacific War” which already seems a little dicey, but let’s see what he’s on about:

Prominent Harvard Professor Pilloried for Peddling Revisionist History About Wartime ‘Comfort Women’ There are three big Japanese right-wing talking points and Ramseyer has parroted them all.
A noted American professor at Harvard Law School has been denounced both at home and internationally after publishing an academic paper arguing that claims about Korean women enslaved by Japanese military forces as “comfort women” during the second world war are historically untrue.
Historians familiar with wartime sexual slavery perpetrated by Japanese armed forces point out that the professor, J. Mark Ramseyer, has long championed historical revisionism.

A professor at Harvard University Law School has stirred up a hornet s nest by describing women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese Imperial Army as sex workers.
The International Review of Law and Economics recently posted online an abstract of a paper by Mark Ramseyer titled Contracting for Sex in the Pacific War. The gist is much the same as the Japanese government s own claims, namely that the Imperial Army did not force women into sexual slavery in World War II but they volunteered to become prostitutes.

Ramseyer s paper considers the problem from a purely economic perspective and claims that Korean women who were drafted into military brothels were given a large advance with one- or two-year maximum terms with an ability for the women to leave early if they generated sufficient revenue.
