Capacity may be defined as a status conferred by law for the purpose of empowering the holder to participate in the operations of a market economy. This paper argues that because of the confining influence of the classical private law of the nineteenth century, we currently lack a convincing theory of the role of law in enhancing and protecting the substantive contractual capacity of market agents, a notion which resembles the economic concept of ‘capability’ as developed by Amartya Sen. Re-examining the legal notion of capacity from the perspective of Sen's ‘capability approach’ is part of a process of understanding the preconditions for a sustainable market order under modern conditions.
