Abstract

The Trump administration has adopted "deregulation" as a public frame for its regulatory agenda. But this label is a myth intended to distract from the actual goal: rigging markets to benefit powerful economic actors even at the expense of everyone else. Rather than an ideological question about how many rules should be in place in a given market, the policy debate is actually about who should hold the power in a market. Supporters of sensible safeguards should stop using the deregulation frame and instead analyze efforts to eliminate safeguards in terms of what they reveal about the administration's goals, meaning who benefits, how, and who is harmed in the process.
