Abstract
It is a commonplace that government regulation benefits the few at the expense of the many. In his new book, Regulation and Public Interests: The Possibility of Good Regulatory Government, Princeton University Press, 2007, Professor Steven Croley takes on this "public choice" account of regulatory action and offers his own alternative account of government regulation, which he calls the administrative process account. The review outlines Croley's arguments and critiques them. It concludes that while some of Croley's arguments are persuasive and others are less so, Croley's arguments about agency autonomy are sophisticated, creative, and compelling. By themselves, they make a lasting contribution to our understanding of government regulation.
