Description
In this influential work of political economy, Daniel Webster Hoan argues that government regulation of business is ineffective and often counterproductive. Hoan examines a range of industries, from railroads to meatpacking, and shows how regulatory efforts have failed to protect consumers or promote competition. Written in the early 20th century, The Failure of Regulation is a prescient critique of modern economic policy.
