CCA II: The Cost of Regulation

The Cost of Regulation

The number and reach of regulations have grown dramatically since the Great Society. The cost of these regulations is measured not only in economic, but in constitutional and moral terms. This second CCA of the 2018-2019 academic year will consider the role of regulation in a free society, the regulatory state today, and prescriptions for reform.
