Too Much Deregulation or Not Enough?

Featuring Peter VanDoren, Editor, Regulation Magazine; and Mark Cooper, Director of Research, Consumer Federation of America.

121 Cannon House Office Building

Watch the Event in Real Video

This summer saw both a Consumer Reports article attacking deregulation and the 25th anniversary edition of the Cato Institute's Regulation praising deregulation. Over the past century Congress has repealed regulation of many industries, including energy, finance, and transportation. In most cases the result has been lower real prices, increased services and broad popular support. However, some areas, such as health, safety, the environment, and corporate governance have faced increased regulation. So, which is it? Is deregulation good or bad? Come hear two sides of the debate on the value of deregulation.
