✦ Synopsis

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.
