Deregulation: The Anatomy of a Catchword

Abstract

The question of the desirability and extent of state intervention in market processes is a recurrent theme almost as old as economic theorizing itself. Starting with the confrontation between the laissez-faire ideology emanating from Manchester and its sceptical opponents in the less developed nations (List in Germany, Carey in the United States), the question resurfaces in the never-ending free trade-protectionism debate, the battle between Chicago/Freiburg liberals and Keynesian interventionists, and so on and so forth. With the wave of conservatism that began in the early 1970s, there has been a noticeable shift in these seesaw discussions in favour of market-oriented policies, with ‘deregulation’ and ‘privatization’ emerging as popular catchwords. My aim is to look a bit more critically at the recent battle-cry for deregulation.
