A collection of nine lectures, accompanied by comments from regulators and ex-regulators, applying economic concepts to the promotion of utility deregulation. Presented by Robinson (economics, U. of Surrey, UK) the lectures primarily focus on British industries promoting the deregulation of electricity, rail, water, gas, and communications industries. A few lectures address broader issues, looking at deregulation across Europe and European Union merger control. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
