Is U.S. Business Overregulated? Dr. James S. Sagner

Ask Jim Sagner which candidate in the presidential primary knew the most about economics, world trade, business regulation and its crippling effect on America’s economic health and he’ll tell you that none of the candidates really seemed to know enough. A clear sign, perhaps, that they, like most Americans, could use a lesson on the effects of overregulation provided in his book: Is U.S. Business Overregulated? How Government Destroys Our Abiity to Compete Globally.

American business, Dr. Sagner writes, now faces a worldwide economic crisis. After decades of losing marketshare to overseas competitors, American companies are no longer able to compete effectively in the global marketplace, due in large part, to outdated and unrealistic U.S. regulations. Is there a practical answer to the deepening problem? In Is U.S. Business Overregulated? Jim Sagner says there is: get rid of laws that stay on the books long after they are needed and cripple America’s prospects. Many of these draconian regulations merely hamstringing the good guys, even as the white-collar criminals simpyly find new loopholes to crawl through.
