Electricity Deregulation: Choices and Challenges (Bush School Series in the Economics of Public Policy)

Book Description

The electricity market has experienced enormous setbacks in delivering on the promise of deregulation. In theory, deregulating the electricity market would increase the efficiency of the industry by producing electricity at lower costs and passing those cost savings on to customers. As Electricity Deregulation shows, successful deregulation is possible, although it is by no means a hands-off process—in fact, it requires a substantial amount of design and regulatory oversight.

This collection brings together leading experts from academia, government, and big business to discuss the lessons learned from experiences such as California's market meltdown as well as the ill-conceived policy choices that contributed to those failures. More importantly, the essays that comprise Electricity Deregulation offer a number of innovative prescriptions for the successful design of deregulated electricity markets. Written with economists and professionals associated with each of the network industries in mind, this comprehensive volume provides a timely and astute deliberation on the many risks and rewards of electricity deregulation.

Book Description

Ending Cash argues that America's tangible cash should be transformed into a new federal electronic currency (FEDEC). Although Warwick admits that private bank card systems and/or the Internet may some day supplant cash, he explains why this will not happen soon, certainly not in our lifetime. Warwick emphasizes that the unrealized benefits of cashlessness far exceed the mere convenience that citizens generally look for and enjoy in bank card usage. While stressing the relative inefficiency of cash, said to run $60 billion a year just in handling costs, he illustrates the profound role cash plays in most crimes, including tax evasion, all of which could be prevented with a resultant public savings in the hundreds of billions of dollars each year if a federal system were created. Against the background of consumer-oriented EFT systems, including credit-, debit-, and smart-card systems, Warwick explains the disinterest of industry in achieving cashlessness, as well as its organizational incapacity to carry it out. He thus argues the need for government involvement. Among the many facets he covers are privacy, security, technical requirements, and operational costs. He also explains the issue of employing private currencies as a replacement for cash, and how federal e-currency might impact the banking and bank card industries.

A dilettant's folly.......1999-08-02

Mr. Warwick attempts to project his liberal social agenda into moneterism without much success. He's obviously bought off on the current government four horsemen: drug kinpins, terrorists, money launders and pedophiles (changing periodically when they no longer shock citizens into willingly surrendering their civil rights) without looking deeply into the subject, seeing an elimination of currency as a major part of the solution.

He ignores the causes of the problems: the unwise and unwarranted expansion of criminalizing vicitimless behavior, ignoring that one man's patriot (e.g., this country's Founding Fathers) are another's terrorists, the illicit asset seizure laws and redefintion of money laundering to include situations without any predicate crime. He minimizes the experience of recent generations, and a major reason for our Constitution's tilt toward limiting Federal power, that the greater the role of centralized government the greater the likelyhood of tyranny.

Mr. Warwick stresses that increased use of account-based electronic monetary instruments can lead to improved speed, cost and security in financial transactions and reductions in crime, but ignores that the present account-based systems are routinely and effectively used for the very purposes he seeks to prevent and that fully anonymous electronic cash could be even less expensive while protecting our civil liberties (but then again he sees those as bothersome and necessary casualties anyway).
