Comment on Reuel Schiller: The Curious Origins of Airline Deregulation: Economic Deregulation and the American Left

Business History Review, 2019, vol. 93, issue 4, 755-757

Abstract: Air travel is unpleasant for many reasons, particularly in the post-9/11 age. Yet, blame for the cramped accommodations, bag fees, and lack of direct flights has to be assigned in part to the deregulation of the airline industry in the late 1970s. Airline deregulation and its consequences symbolize the ways in which neoliberal ideas and practices have come to shape economic policies as well as the daily lives of ordinary Americans.
