Billions of Dollars U.S. Economy Loses to Occupational Licensing
- bediger4000 8y agoDon't bother: this is entirely one-sided. How much is lost to licensing is all that it covers. How much do we save by having licensed electricians, mechanics, etc that don't screw things isn't considered, as near as I can tell. Also, the author discloses his affiliation with the "Institute for Justice", which I was surprised to find out is a Libertarian public interest law firm, not a superhero organization like I'd hoped. It's not really a Forbes article, it's sort of an infomercial. If it was journalism, it would be hopelessly one-sided, not even an attempt at he said/she said malpractice.
