Summary
American business now faces a worldwide economic crisis. After decades of losing market share to overseas competitors, American companies are no longer able to compete effectively in the global marketplace, due in large part, to outdated, unrealistic and crippling U.S. regulations. All Americans feel the toll as manufacturing and other jobs pour out of the nation, lost to countries with 5 to 20 times lower labor costs. Increasingly a service economy, the U.S. has become heavily dependent on the goodwill of foreign holders of dollars to buy its financial and hard assets and on our hometown consumers to keep spending. Seemingly informed solutions offered to the crisis range from balanced budgets; to higher interest rates; to taxes to improve our economic situation; to a value-added tax to suppress consumption; to better education to ensure that American high-school graduates can read and write on a par with workers in other countries and to a return to some form of the gold standard to force our leaders to stop printing money. These are not what business needs now. Why? Even the suggestions that may be viable will take far too much time, and time is something that is rapidly running out for America. Is there a practical answer to the ever deepening problem? Yes. And it is one that can quickly and effectively level the global playing field and put U.S. business back in the game: Eliminate the regulations that hamper business from performing in the world marketplace against less regulated, oversees competitors. In IS U.S. BUSINESS OVERREGULATED? best-selling business author, business expert and lecturer, Dr. James Sagner, analyzes, summarizes and explains in simple terms, understandable to all readers, the complex rules that restrict American business, such as the antitrust, corporate governance, and banking regulations. Next, the author leads the now informed reader to what, at last, appears as an obvious, innovative and brilliant solution—widespread deregulation--sure to benefit American business and all Americans.
