Fundamentally, history is the consequence of ideas. Every movement,
revolution, war, and era is ultimately defined and motivated by a
guiding ideology. In this book, we will examine the ideas that have
shaped (or are shaping) government policies toward numerous
industries. We will examine mature industries and newer industries.
In examining mature industries, we can trace the long-term
consequences of government policies. We can see the cause and the
effect. We can see which policies resulted in innovation and
progress, and which did not. In identifying the results of past
policies, we can predict the future consequences of today's policy
debates. Virtually everyone claims to support innovation and
progress. But claiming such support and advocating policies that
make innovation possible are not the same thing. We cannot discern
the difference merely on the basis of claims and professed
intentions. We must look at the principles-the fundamental
ideas-being advocated.
