Regulation, The Constitution, and the Economy

Rating:
Summary: Great Book
Review: My economics prof. assigned this book for a public policy class. I was a little put off at first by some grammatical and spelling deficiencies, but the problems went away and the more I read, the better the book got. Great coverage of the constitutionality of regulations and administrative laws, a short history of American regulation from the early Republic to the late 80's and early 90's, and a rundown of some economic theories of regulation. Some economic knowledge is necessary and there are a few graphs and tables of statistics. Great resource if you want some ammunition to take on your liberal friends and professors.
