The Natural Gas Market: Sixty Years of Regulation and Deregulation
ISBN: 9780300083811 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Six decades of efforts by federal agencies to regulate the natural gas industry in the U. S. have failed, says the author of this important book. Paul MacAvoy shows that no one has gained from public control of the natural gas industry, and he argues that all participants would gain from complete deregulation.

But in our society, even as technology makes certain kinds of information more accessible than ever, other connections are irrevocably lost.

Microfoundations and Macroeconomics : An Austrian Perspective
ISBN: 9780415197625 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
