Occupational Licensure and Regulation

By Simon Rottenberg and Rottenberg

Book Overview

This is an eye-opening collection edited by Simon Rottenburg that pulls back the curtain on occupational licensure and regulation, tackling issues like mandatory licensing, professional monopolies, competition policy, black occupational attainment, job mobility, and the hidden costs consumers pay, featuring sharp analysis from economists and policy experts, including a landmark address from FTC Chairman Michael Pertschuk and Nobel laureate George Stigler, that challenges readers to rethink whether licensing laws truly protect the public or simply protect the professionals already inside the gate.
