This book presents an assessment of regulation and its impact on the US economy. Starting with the Act to Regulate Commerce of 1887, Professor MacAvoy traces the rise of regulation over 100 years until its sudden curtailment in the 1980s. He also examines the the economic effect of regulation, its ability to achieve the objectives of lawmakers, its social benefit and its cost, and addresses the question of whether there are more effective ways of achieving those same objectives.
