FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Over the last several years, the value of stocks in both the airline and the telecommunications industries have dropped catastrophically. Since these industries were among the most important—and most visible—to have been unleashed from regulation in recent decades (albeit in widely differing degree), their difficulties have raised the question of whether their deregulation should be reconsidered or even reversed.Alfred E. Kahn, one of the foremost authorities on deregulation, argues in this book that every passing year demonstrates the superiority of the road chosen for the airlines. He contrasts the financial meltdowns of both the airline and telecommunications industries with others taking place at the same time, particularly in technology-related stocks and ""dot.coms,"" pointing out that these sectors were also relatively free of direct economic regulation. Their experience provides a useful counter to the natural tendency to blame all the woes of aviation and telecommunications on government policy.This book provides a valuable and accessible guide to unraveling the complex world of network deregulation. It will serve as a reference point for practioners and policymakers, as well as an important introduction for the general public." Author Biography Alfred E.

Review "Excellent reading on [deregulation] is a new paper by Alfred Kahn, doyen of Americas regulation economists. In a study jointly published by the American Enterprise Institute and the Brookings Institution, Mr. Kahn assaults the widely held view that Americas deregulation of airlines and telecoms has been a terrible failure-and the main cause of the financial disasters lately visited upon those industries." — The Economist, 12/6/2003 Review Quote "Excellent reading on [deregulation] is a new paper by Alfred Kahn, doyen of Americas regulation economists.
