Pre-Owned Regulating Infrastructure: Monopoly, Contracts, and Discretion (Paperback) 0674022386 9780674022386

This book addresses a vexing question about privatization: how can government fairly and effectively regulate "natural monopolies"--infrastructure and utility services whose technologies make competition impractical? Gómez-Ibáñez draws on history, politics, and a wealth of examples to provide a road map for various approaches to regulation.Good Condition: Minimal damage to the cover, dust jacket may not be included, minimal wear to binding, most of the pages undamaged(e.g., minimal creases or tears), highlighting / underlining acceptable on books as long as the text is readable and markings are not excessive, no missing pages.
