What can be done to keep regulation from going overboard?
And that right there folks, is the million dollar question.
Crony capitalism has proven to us that capitalism absolutely needs to be kept in check by way of regulations. But the tough balancing act of not letting regulation go overboard is where the tricky part comes in.

I don't know. I am a philosopher (by piece of paper) and it just is part of who I am.

I know this is counter intuitive, and in a complex and incompletely known world intuition is important,
but what if the regulations are the means of Crony Capitalism?

Obviously they are the means. That is why its important to use clear language and imparitive.
Same way these crazy religious freedom laws are exploiting constitutional rights.
It doesn't mean the regulations were not put in place to deal with a problem. It means they were exploited by unethical people.
It also does not mean regulations are not necessary. If the solution to the problem is a bad one it doesn't mean there is no problem.

All regulations are crony. The cronies have the money to work around anything easier than new small businesses. If real damage is done then fraud laws would be broken. All regulation is using gov to limit or destroy competition.
Abusive business practices motivate new competition.

According to only a very small group of economists who don't have any real world examples of their philosophy working even though the philosophy is nearly 100 years old.

And your argument is baseless. Nothing more than "only if's" like I said before.

Your argument is "because they said so".
And their argument is "because we said so"
My argument is consistent with human nature.
Your argument believes in saints in gov.
