##### From the Cover 

### [The Coming Privatization of Corporate Law ](/regulation/summer-2026/coming-privatization-corporate-law)

By Dorothy S. Lund and Eric Talley 

Delaware’s recent stumbles may (serendipitously) pave the way for a future of private ordering in corporate governance.

##### Behind the Issue 

### *Unintended Consequences*

##### The Podcast of *Regulation*

In This Episode 

Rent control is a tempting solution to a very real problem, the lack of quality, affordable housing in tightly regulated municipalities. But controlling prices leads to significant, negative outcomes that not only discourage the building of additional homes but also harm the very class of renters who the policy attempts to help. But in this episode, Paul and Peter discuss the jurisprudence on rent control as covered in a recent [*Regulation Magazine* article](https://www.cato.org/regulation/summer-2026/rent-control-constitution), “Rent Control and the Constitution” by Paul Godek, who argues that rent control is an unjust taking similar to abuses of the eminent domain process.
