I learned about it in my college public policy economics classes. I may still have a reference to them in some of the economics books I kept. Milton Friedman was also fond of trotting out DLBD in his popular economics books, like Capitalism and Freedom. I'll do some research and see if I can't find some links on the web. :) Derek

Oops, yes its been a while. Seems I got my lessons mixed up in my head. <g> Actually it's Gammon's Theory of Bureaucratic Displacement and the reason the NHS being a good example is because Gammon came up with it while studying the NHS. Here's a link I found on it: adocfund.org On Director's Law of Public Income Redistribution: George J. Stigler, "Director's Law of Public Income Redistribution," Journal of Law and Economics, 13 (April 1970) Not much in the way of distillations of the main points of Director's Law out there on the web.
