Government regulation of economic and social activities permeates our lives. While regulation in many instances yields important public benefits, regulations often are imposed on individuals and organizations with too little thought or analysis of what is gained in comparison with the losses incurred in time, money, indecision, and productivity.
Fundamental reform is unlikely unless all of us, who rightly want clean air, safe products, and safe workplaces, fight vigorously for better outcomes from the enormous resources currently consumed by social and economic regulations.
