About this episode
1935 NEW DEAL Economic Policy and Regulatory Reform Richard Epstein critiques progressive economic policy proposals, arguing against Tim Wu’s affordability framework and housing market interventions. He contends that government subsidies, zoning restrictions, and tax mandates shrink economic growth and trigger severe market distortions, contrasting New York’s slow housing approvals with Texas’s deregulated model. Epstein also criticizes Trump’s tariff policies as economically destructive, champions free trade, and examines constitutional law debates regarding urban housing regulations and political tensions concerning Canadianprovincial economic autonomy.
