This book is the first volume in a detailed history of the New York State Public Service Commission. It examines the rise of the commission in the early 20th century against the backdrop of growing concerns over the behavior of large corporations. The author traces the commissions' origins back to the failure of the free market to regulate industries with natural monopolies, such as utilities, and explains the complex series of events that led to the eventual creation of the body. Delving into the commissions' early work, the book reveals how the commissions secured sweeping powers in response to the rampant abuse of the public by gas and electric companies. It's a must-read for anyone interested in the history of public utilities regulation, or in the broader themes of regulation, government, and corporate power.
