Regulation - which is based on force and fear - undermines the
moral base of business dealings. It becomes cheaper to bribe a
building inspector than to meet his standards of construction.
A fly-by-night securities operator can quickly meet all the
S.E.C. requirements, gain the inference of respectability, and

dealings before he could earn a position of trust sufficient to
induce a number of investors to place funds with him. Protection
of the consumer by regulation is thus illusory. -- Alan Greenspan
