Some politicians claim to be both “pro-business” and “pro-market”—as if they’re the same thing. Yet today’s largest corporations have mastered the art of working with government officials at every level to stifle market competition. They reap billions of dollars through a complex web of high taxes, strict regulations, and government handouts.
Are Big Business and Big Government enemies or allies? Can regulation reliably check corporate abuses, or are agencies too prone to “regulatory capture”? In an economy where 3.6 million young people are out of work, will more government/business “partnerships” stoke employment—or further stifle competition? Please join us for a lively discussion of these issues.
