deregulation
definition: when the government removes some controls over a market when it feels that doing so would promote more competition and be good for the consumer
- Ex. of industries that have gone through deregulation include airline, banking, railroad, natural gas, and television broadcasting

Sometimes, it works with mixed results:
- Airlines: Have worked well and has spurred competition & lowered prices
- Banks: Not so well, many banks have gone under as a result of bad business practices costing taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars over the years
