Since these industries were among the most important--and most visible--to have been unleashed from regulation in recent decades (albeit in widely differing degree), their difficulties have raised the question of whether their deregulation should be reconsidered or even reversed. Alfred E. Kahn, one of the foremost authorities on deregulation, argues in this book that every passing year demonstrates the superiority of the road chosen for the airlines. He contrasts the financial meltdowns of both the airline and telecommunications industries with others taking place at the same time, particularly in technology-related stocks and "dot.coms," pointing out that these sectors were also relatively free of direct economic regulation. Their experience provides a useful counter to the natural tendency to blame all the woes of aviation and telecommunications on government policy. This book provides a valuable and accessible guide to unraveling the complex world of network deregulation. It will serve as a reference point for practioners and policymakers, as well as an important introduction for the general public. 606 $aAeronautics, Commercial$xDeregulation$zUnited States 606 $aAirlines$xDeregulation$zUnited States 606 $aTelecommunication$xDeregulation$zUnited States 615 0$aAeronautics, Commercial$xDeregulation 615 0$aAirlines$xDeregulation 615 0$aTelecommunication$xDeregulation 676 $a384/.041 700 $aKahn$b Alfred E$g(Alfred Edward)$0121840 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812477803321 996 $aLessons from deregulation$94103597 997 $aUNINA
