- ...scientific and technological progress that creates ideas is the main driver of long-run growth...But ideas don’t automatically raise living standards; economic growth requires turning them into technologies that can disseminate throughout society.
- Burdensome government regulations and institutional constraints are increasingly slowing the pace of this progress and creating artificial scarcity.
- Restrictive zoning and land use regulations have created housing shortages in many major cities, driving up rents and preventing people from [moving to] to centers of economic growth and innovation.
- Similar constraints hinder scientific and technological innovation — key institutional funders ...burden researchers with excessive paperwork and overly lengthy grant review processes, [leading to] low-risk, incremental research over higher-risk but potentially transformative ideas.
- ...environmental review laws slow a wide variety of infrastructure projects, including green energy. [Irony is my favorite kind of humor.]
