'In Direct Hit, one of our greatest experts on competition and regulation puts automobile sales under the microscope. And what he shows us is high drama: special interests pulling the levers of power, a thrilling wave of technological innovation, and - at last - a growing movement for change. Don't miss this tour de force from a brilliant writer on a subject that affects us all.' Daniel Francis, New York University School of Law
'Direct Hit is a must read for anyone who has ever had a bad experience haggling for a car. Daniel Crane skillfully lays out how car dealers across the country convinced states to adopt laws that supposedly protected consumers but in practice just protected the dealerships. It took a Goliath - in the form of Elon Musk at the helm of Tesla - to break their stranglehold. Crane's account of how it took an ambitious, hard-charging and wealthy entrepreneur to disrupt laws that hurt consumers is a testament to all that is broken in today's political system.' Kathryn Judge, Columbia Law School
