Thomas Winslow Hazlett holds the H. H. Macaulay Endowed Professorship in Economics at Clemson University, where he also directs the Information Economy Project.
"Mr. Hazlett provides a fascinating history. . . . The Political
Spectrum is full of valuable instruction—especially for lawyers,
economists and other students of regulation for whom the book
provides example after example of the strategic use of the
regulatory process. Potential entrepreneurs in fields where
regulation may be a barrier—fintech, pharma and transportation, for
example—will benefit too, finding cautionary tales about how to
enter a market with a disruptive idea."—Gregory L. Rosston, Wall
Street Journal
"A masterpiece of wisdom and wit, The Political Spectrum proves
that, when applied to the airways, the higher the stakes, the
higher the waste. Tom Hazlett’s narrative is comprehensive,
incisive, and characteristically hilarious."—Vernon L. Smith,
Chapman University, 2002 Nobel Laureate in Economics
"In this book, Thomas W. Hazlett shows how administrative
management of the radio spectrum has always been inefficient and,
with the mobile and digital revolutions, the costs of not
allocating spectrum by the market are rising dramatically. This is
a deadly serious subject, but Hazlett’s engaging writing style
vastly enlivens it."— Martin Cave, author of Spectrum
Management—How to Get the Best Out of the Airwaves for Society and
the Economy
"A masterful book written in an agreeably informal and
non-technical style, this is essential reading for anyone
interested in the law and economics of spectrum allocation, from
Marconi to the Internet."—H.E. Frech III, University of California,
Santa Barbara
"Among [the] proponents of a market for spectrum, none is more
vocal and persuasive than. . . . Thomas Hazlett. . . . Hazlett
has done an extraordinary service demonstrating the harm of
government-managed spectrum."—Lawrence Lessig, The Future of
Ideas
"Few understand spectrum, and yet few things are more important to
our networked future. Tom Hazlett covers it all superbly. A
monumental work."—Gerald Faulhaber, The Wharton School and School
of Law, University of Pennsylvania
