Hahn and Passell Examine "Regulation after Bush"

September 18, 2008

Criterion affiliate Robert Hahn and his co-author, Peter Passell, separate the political rhetoric offered by the candidates on regulation from the likely realities that will face the next president. They observe that Senator McCain and Senator Obama have staked out very different positions on serious questions involving economic regulation—everything from housing finance to alternative energy mandates—but argue that practical considerations will dissolve many of these differences.
