California was once the powerhouse of American growth and innovation. Over the years, however, it has developed a regulatory state that now stifles entrepreneurship, opportunity, and overall development. To consider this important case study of the implications of progressive state and local policies on business and growth, the Adam Smith Society held a virtual discussion on “The Regulatory Labyrinth” with Manhattan Institute director of research and senior fellow Judge Glock.
