  abstract: This is a legal-historical text on the changes in the concept of freedom of contract by English Professor Patrick Atiyah. The central theme is that the notion of a contract based on consent (or a 'meeting of minds') was almost entirely absent before 1800 in the law. Instead it was based on reliance or the receipt of a benefit.
