BTW, the best lawyer/economist to visit the utilities question from a left
perspective in the 20th century was none other than Robert Hale; one of the
founders of the first "law and economics" movement. His papers are in the
Columbia University library. I'm sure there's a gold mine of argumentation tools
available for those who are going to make this a good fight into the future....
