Ostensibly.
q.e.d.

Not long enough apparently.
Starting before 1700 and continuing until today. Is that long enough?

Sure.
Can you tell us what the Canadian government did to "interfere" with Canadian industry?
How about the Automotive Products Trade Agreement of 1965?

How did that interfere or contribute to zero financial crisis for Canada?

Here’s a letter to the Wall Street Journal:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren supports those who oppose school choice (“Progressive Values on the Ballot,” Nov. 10), presumably because she believes that competition causes suppliers (in this case K-12 schools) to worsen their service to customers. Yet Sen. Warren also supports – because she thinks that it will intensify competition throughout the economy – active antitrust enforcement, presumably because she believes that competition causes suppliers to improve their service to customers.
Is it too much to ask Sen. Warren to decide one way or another if she believes that competition for customers worsens or improves suppliers’ performance – or, alternatively, to ask her to explain why K-12 schooling is an exception to the well-established rule that competition doesn’t worsen, but improves, the performance of its suppliers?--Donny B.

Richard Epstein's advice to Trump:
You should take a similar hard look to actions take by the Department of Labor that disrupt all businesses. The recent decision to roughly double the wage and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act to people who earn under $47,476 per year cannot be ducked by any firm. The administrative and financial burdens make it especially difficult for tech start-ups to sign up employees and for universities to compensate the graduate students so necessary for engineering and the natural sciences. These rules have to be pulled right away to give breathing room to American firms. In the slightly longer horizon, once your administration can name a majority of the members to the National Labor Relations Board, it has to reverse ground on virtually every major ruling that has come down, and to immediately terminate with prejudice the litigation that seeks to treat franchisors like MacDonald’s as “joint employers” subject to the jurisdiction of the NLRB. The Obama administration takes the view that successful business models have to be destroyed in the name of social justice, even if job stagnation results.

Does it make $ense to allow private businesses to compete in the tax-free bond market? Or giving them eminent domain power to confiscate private land?
