I believe that capitalism and markets are amoral

And government and regulations are........?

[durasell]

I can dodge the question by saying: imperfect, but the best we have.

But I won't.

Gov't regs at their best are well-reasoned and take into account the legitimate concerns of the citizenry for their own safety and well-being and the natural dynamics of the marketplace. At their worst, they are dumb and disrupt both. But most of the regs fall someplace in between.
