U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Agreement

Article Abstract:

The US-Japan Semiconductor Agreement was renewed once again on Aug. 2, 1996. The American and Japanese governments first agreed to regulate trade in semiconductors among companies in their respective nations in 1986 and renewed this agreement in 1991. The upside of the latest accord is that is does not specify market share targets or trade controls. However, its upside is that it increases government interference that undermines freedom of trade.

State regulatory measures

Article Abstract:

Measuring state regulations and comparing the costs among the various states is a difficult task. Still, the resulting information could focus the attention of the public and policymakers on both the state role in regulation and the direction that reform should take. As states seek freedom from self-imposed regulations, they will eventually serve as valuable allies for those fighting the battle in Washington.

Handicapping freedom: the Americans with Disabilities Act

Article Abstract:

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) was strongly supported in both houses of Congress. The support for the bill was due largely to legislators' desire to protect disabled Americans from being discriminated upon by potential employers. Despite its noble objectives, the ADA can be cited as a good example of the evils of regulation. Congress should consider reforming, if not repealing, the ADA.
