| Abstract
|
:
|
"Government-owned and government-subsidized firms compete with private firms in a variety of activities but are often endowed with privileges and immunities not enjoyed by their private rivals. Competing with the Government reveals how these privileges give government firms an artificial competitive advantage that fosters a wide range of potentially harmful effects.". "Examining a variety of instances in which government and private firms compete - including freight carriage, electric utilities, financial services, and others - the authors raise fundamental questions about the proper relationship between business and government in a market economy and underline the need for significant policy change regarding competition between government and private firms."--BOOK JACKET.
