Leading Economist Looks at the Often Ignored Benefits of Deregulation

INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed Diana Furchtgott-Roth.

Price and Furchtgott-Roth take a look at the Federal Reserves history of failing to look at the importance of deregulation in improving the economy. Fed economists have a history of wildly optimistic predictions in excessive regulatory administrations and tend to have cloudy predictions for those taking a free market approach.

Diana Furcht Gott-Roth recently wrote for the Daily Telegraph: “Undeterred by a crashing stock market and rising uncertainty, President Donald Trump has announced $770 billion of tariffs, including on American allies. Speaking of Canada, the president told Laura Ingraham on Fox News earlier this week: ‘We don’t need their lumber, we don’t need their energy, we don’t need anything. We certainly don’t want their automobiles.’
