Reviews
The first two chapters lay things out in a nice ordering: Why is there regulation? How does regulation happen? How can/do managers respond to regulation? This is a good approach for a B-school audience, and has the promise of providing a nice general structure for students to process the material. The approach is clearly case-based, especially with regard to questioning/evaluating the students. -- Jeffrey T. Prince, Indiana University In a time of soaring costs of higher education, it is nice to find an up-to-date textbook on regulation that one could cover in its entirety. Lesser's highly readable book is chock full of interesting cases from both past and present, and it includes enough economic analysis to be useful for a wide variety of courses about business and government. -- James A. Hornsten, Northwestern University Professor Lesser's secret for teaching regulation is to get down to specific examples, from Ollie McClung's barbecue to the water level in Mono Lake. His book nicely combines graphs, cases, and examples to teach regulation both for public policy and for business management. -- Eric Rasmusen, Indiana University
