Abstract
In recent years there has been a major effort to eliminate or defuse regulation, primarily in the fields of health and safety environmental protection and market structure. The purpose of this chapter is to place in perspective the principal arguments in support of deregulation. The theme is that these arguments are fundamentally inconclusive.
Written with James D. Shaffer; originally published in Policy Studies Review, vol. 1 (February 1982).
