One of the great economic success stories of the late 20th century was the federal government's deregulation of several important American industries. By the late 1960s, major sectors of the U.S. economy had become bogged down in decades' worth of red tape; high barriers to entry stifled competition and, with it, efficiency and innovation. A few large firms enjoyed so much influence over the regulatory process that entry by new firms had become almost impossible.
In an effort to reverse this trend, between 1968 and 1984, policymakers broke up cartels and monopolies in a number of industries, perhaps most notably in interstate trucking and telecommunications. In the case of trucking, deregulation proved to be relatively straightforward: Congress formally liberalized regulations governing trucking in 1980, and in 1995, the agency that had been responsible for regulating the industry — the Interstate Commerce Commission — was abolished. Today, trucking is a highly competitive and highly efficient industry with minimal government encumbrance. (...) |
