...business of regulating business is one of the fastest-growing areas of government. It is also fast becoming one of the most criticized, even though nobody denies the need for some regulation or the benefits of clean air, pure water, safe products, healthy workers and employed minorities. An alliance of liberals and conservatives now protest that regulation is excessive and the benefits are not worth the price. They have found an ally in Jimmy Carter, who promises to battle regulatory excess as part of his Stage II anti-inflation plan. And not a moment too soon. "Our regulatory system," asserts...
Regulatory excess cuts into spending for research and development and for capital investment in new plant and equipment. Corporate cash is spent on devices to clean the air and protect workers rather than on modern machinery that will produce goods more cheaply and efficiently. While that may appear to be an acceptable tradeoff, it leads to fewer jobs for the unemployed and fewer technical discoveries that will benefit the nation. Yale Economist Paul MacAvoy estimates that the shift of investment from productive projects to programs mandated by regulation has cut the growth of the U.S. gross national product...

...Cleaning services display a sense of professionalization that tends to upgrade the occupation of the domestic," says Katzman. "Traditionally the worker was hired to satisfy the employer's personal status needs; today that process is being depersonalized. The new services decide how they'll clean the house. As professionals, they don't have to listen to the housewife's way of doing things. It's more businesslike-they simply make a contract for a certain job to be done...
