Consisting of an introduction and four essays followed by comments on them, the book explores aspects of public utility management and regulation which, taken as a whole, provide a distinct and original approach to regulatory problems. The authors of the essays were selected for their acknowledged competence in their subjects, and the commentators for their equally eminent qualifications and also for their expected different and critical views.The book should be of interest to scholars, public utility executives, and government officials directly concerned with regulation."
