Contrived Competition: Regulation and Deregulation in America
This book explains how four major firms--American Airlines, El Paso Natural Gas, AT&T, and Bank America--and their respective managements were challenged by the deregulation of markets starting in the late 1970s. The four stories illustrate the dynamic process of market restructuring and organizational adjustment, as well as the ways in which managers and regulators painfully learned to operate effectively as their economic and political environm…
Contrived Competition: Economic Regulation and Deregulation, 1920s–1980s
The study of regulation must take far more account of what happens within companies than is usually the case with academic work, or we will never get a clear idea of the actual impact of regulation on market structures or firm behaviours. This article summarises a major research project focused on four dominant US firms in four of the most important regulated industries: AT&T in telecommunications, BankAmerica in commercial banking, El Paso in na…

Contrived Competition: Airline Regulation and Deregulation, 1925–1988
Although many have studied regulatory policy in the United States, few have viewed it as a process, shaping markets and industries and, in turn, being affected by the structures it helped to create. By looking at the forty-year history of airline regulation and then focusing on one company's adaptations to deregulation, this article demonstrates that monocausal explanations fail to capture the complex and dynamic nature of the interaction between…

The Synthetic Liquid Fuels Program: Energy Politics in the Truman Era
As the end of the era of abundant natural petroleum oils approaches, the United States finds itself heavily committed to a way of life based on cheap liquid hydrocarbon fuels. Whether such fuels will be available at any price in adequate quantities in the future, is the question today. Professor Vietor shows that it was also a serious question for some years after World War II, and that the United States carried a long way towards definitive demo…
