Lecture Summary:
Economists generally recognize that regulations have a dampening effect on economic growth. However, Dr. Bylund argues that they vastly underestimate the real effect of regulations by failing to properly account for how regulations affect opportunities for entrepreneurship and, consequently, how this lack of entrepreneurship affects people in their everyday lives. Bylund will explore the extents of what we are missing as a result of (often well-intended) regulations, with special attention to those opportunities for leading better lives that remain unrealized.
