Percentage of regulated capitalist society we have?

[Toronado3800]

In the U.S. we have a fairly regulated capitalist economy.

The FDA keeps the grocery store from getting too lazy and poisoning us.

The SEC regulates our trading industry.

The FCC keeps our radio stations from overpowering one another and so on.

Prices for the most part of pretty much up to individual mattress and other stores to set.....that's half the issue.

So think it would be easy enough to claim 60% to 70% of our economy is regulated?

 

[skeptic]

all of our economy is regulated. The broad interpretations of the interstate commerce clause prove that much.

But there is regulation in name only and regulation in deed. The SEC doesn't actually exercise it's powers and it's authority, as one example.
