In his comprehensive book, Craig A. Leisy offers a detailed account of the regulation of weights and measures in the United States, spanning from the early 20th century to the present day. Written with academic and professional readers in mind, Leisy provides a comprehensive exploration of fundamental terms and concepts, the historical origins and evolution of weights and measures laws, the mechanisms of weights and measures regulation, the economic implications of such regulation, notable enforcement cases, significant legal decisions, the impact of public policies, and a projection of the future of weights and measures regulation. Additionally, the book delves into the consequences of weights and measures regulation for producers (sellers) and consumers (buyers) within the marketplace.
The book incorporates a comprehensive 2019 survey of state weights and measures regulatory programs, an introduction to the economics of weights and measures regulation, a case study of the municipal weights and measures regulatory program in Seattle, Washington, detailed insights into a significant gasoline dispenser fraud case in Los Angeles County, and landmark legal cases related to the net contents of packaged goods.

It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, professionals, and policymakers interested in understanding the historical, economic, and legal aspects of weights and measures regulation in the United States.
