What political and economic factors have given rise to its regulation of the economy? These eight case studies explore the late-nineteenth- and early twentieth-century origins of government intervention in the United States economy, focusing on the political influence of special interest groups in the development of economic regulation. The Regulated Economy examines how constituent groups emerged and demanded government action to solve perceived economic problems, such as exorbitant railroad and utility rates, bank failure, falling agricultural prices, the immigration of low-skilled workers, workplace injury, and the financing of government. The contributors look at how preexisting policies, institutions, and market structures shaped regulatory activity; the origins of regulatory movements at the state and local levels; the effects of consensus-building on the timing and content of legislation; and how well government policies reflect constituency interests. A wide-ranging historical view of the way interest group demands and political bargaining have influenced the growth of economic regulation in the United States, this book is important reading for economists, political scientists, and public policy experts. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research project report. 606 $aIndustrial laws and legislation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aTrade regulation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aIndustrial policy$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aIndustrial policy$zUnited States$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndustrial laws and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aTrade regulation$xHistory. 615 0$aIndustrial policy$xHistory. 615 0$aIndustrial policy 676 $a338.973 701 $aGoldin$b Claudia Dale$0128928 701 $aLibecap$b Gary D$0120425 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450915803321 996 $aThe regulated economy$92212928 997 $aUNINA
