``Market Failure and Government Failure: The Regulation of Business''

(slides)

I am writing a book for my course on business and government for senior bus econ majors at Indiana University. Comments are welcomed. I am thinking about self-publishing and charging a relatively low price for electronic or paper copies--- something on the order of $20 each. The chapters are already drafted, with homework problems with answers, but I think it needs more work and so have not publicized it yet.

Market failure. Chapter 2 .
Government Failure. Chapter 3.
