Reviews

...Encouragingly this book starts by challenging the very notion that utilities, and especially the power industry, ever were natural monopolies. ...The optimistic tone of the conclusion takes comfort in examples from other utility services in the USA that show deregulation will always tend to proceed fitfully forward and the regulatory system will continue to evolve to take account of that new paradigm that natural monopoly no longer exists.
