Financial Markets
Highly and preemptively regulated, financial markets are a sector of the economy where new firms and their products can find it hard to gain a foothold. It’s also one where politicians, regulators, and financial institutions increasingly use their power to change the behavior of individuals and businesses outside the democratic process. Mercatus research shows how to keep the sector competitive and innovative, focused on finance and not on social causes.
