In 1977 the US government began to loosen regulations on the tightly controlled trucking industry, expecting that increased competition would drive down companies' shipping costs. In this provocative new book Michael H.

He makes the case that government still has a role to play in ameliorating the hardship caused by competition while retaining its benefits.
