Re: Will the data show regulation the way to go?
I agree with qualifications. I do think we're on the same page more than not. For one thing, we, as a nation would be much better off if we adhered to the principle of subsidiarity. But alas, state's rights=racism anymore.
Since you're in the industry, you may be interested in an academics take on New Zeland's attempt at deregulation. (The By-line is wrong, Vernon Smith is now at George Mason in Fairfax, VA.) Be warned, it is long.
Maybe you'd be interested, this is short, another professor at Mason has a weekly column, a recent one is on ideological point.
As long as we're talking ideology, I disagree slightly with your "grand ideological" sweeps statement. The only way subsidiarity is to work is if we adhere to the idea of limited government as set forth in the law. It's said we have a "living, breathing Constitution," but if that's so, then the law—the limit on government—"becomes a mere ball of wax" and there is no real limit on the powers of government.
