Abstract: This dissertation concerns the role of specialization and asymmetric information in contributing to the rise of the American regulatory state in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.' It consists of three essays that attempt to demonstrate how the forces of specialization created asymmetric information problems in markets formany goods and services, and how this in turn generated a potentially productive role for government regulation.
