A great piece.

Like 1990s debates over the 'retreat of the state' we should frame this as 're-regulation'

Yes, that's the one. One of the weirdest documents I've seen a US government produce. Just no rationale for it at all.

There is a (sadly) hilarious 2018 document from the Trump administration on the economic costs of socialism, a document that seemingly emerged out of nowhere. Worth a read. Wow. I can't recall the title unfortunately.

I really hope it gets a wide readership! It is an important corrective.
