Abstract	The purpose of this research is to describe the evolution of the wealth maximization concept by looking at the work of Richard A. Posner. Several prior researches emphasize the existence of "phases"in his work, while this research was designed to identify a "leitmotiv"that would pervade all his work and represent its unity. To that effect, this dissertation follows the evolution of Posner’s work, using the concept of economic efficiency as key to better understand his work, from the identification of such concept as a "Rosetta stone"of the common law, passing it as a normative criterion, to its accomodation in the everyday pragmatism put forth by the author. This dissertation, by extrapolation, opens a direct dialogue with the Law and Economics movement, of which the author was and continues to be a key figure, seeking a form of rationality that is common to all the movement e that could be used as a mean to evaluate public policy. At last, it focus on the usage of macroeconomic theory as a new vector for Economic Analysis of Law.
