THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC POLICY SEMINAR PRESENTS
STEVEN TELES
The Politics of Rent Seeking
America in the 21st century has been faced with the twin economic challenges of sluggish growth and spiraling inequality. The Captured Economy argues that both of these problems are driven significantly by a single factor—an increase in regressive regulation. From finance to intellectual property to occupational licensing to zoning, markets have been increasingly captured by the well-to-do and bent to their advantage. This analysis presents an opportunity for advocates on both the left and right to collaborate in turning the American economy around, and in the process to cutting through the polarization that has paralyzed our politics.
