One could reliably ask when did our country start to become the lentiginous juggernaut that it is today because there was a lot going on just before and after 1970. And one could ask if our society would be better know if they had, you know, become engineers instead?
Powerline points to 1970 when “The Administrative State” (law by technocrat bureaucrats) shifted out of first gear heading to double overdrive.
And would we have a more productive society if we had fewer regulations and laws (much to our benefit)?
And yes, I do believe that many of our issues are due to what I would consider a surfeit of lawyers, especially when they invade Legislatures – and then never leave. Almost worse than political science majors that have done the same thing.
But I can be persuaded the inverse is also true.
