This Friday, I’ll be giving the keynote speech at a conference at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ.
The day-long conference (I’m the first speaker) is run by the Center for the Study of Economic Liberty and is titled “Avenues to Opportunity.” My talk is titled “The Power to Regulate is the Power to Destroy.” I first heard that line from Harold Demsetz when he spoke at the University of Winnipeg in January or February 1970.
One of the other speakers is former Arizona governor Doug Ducey, one of the few recent U.S. governors whom I admire.

UPDATE: The organizers have just announced that Doug Ducey has a conflict and will not be there.

Big topic. I hope you can focus the audience’s attention on the regulations with highest cost, in my opinion:
those restricting immigration of high earning individuals and students. [I was just reading about the immigrant that started Nvidia and his cousin who started AMD. What if they had not been allowed to immigrate?]
land use restrictions and building codes that destroy so much value in urban areas.
NEPA restrictions on development of CO2 reducing infrastructure.
NRC holding nuclear power safety to higher standards than any other industrial. process.
Conceptually, on the failure to apply cost benefit analysis to all regulation on an evergreen basis.

I agree with you about immigration, but not just about high earning people and students.
I agree with you about the others too. Unfortunately, a talk on regulation deals with a target-rich environment. So I’ve had to pick and choose.

A keynote sounds to me like a great honor, and a well deserved one. I would have loved to join, but Arizona is too far.
