520    For years, America has been plagued by slow economic 
       growth and increasing inequality. Yet economists have long
       taught that there is a tradeoff between equity and 
       efficiency-that is, between making a bigger pie and 
       dividing it more fairly. That is why our current 
       predicament is so puzzling: today, we are faced with both 
       a stagnating economy and sky-high inequality. In The 
       Captured Economy, Brink Lindsey and Steven M. Teles 
       identify a common factor behind these twin ills: 
       breakdowns in democratic governance that allow wealthy 
       special interests to capture the policymaking process for 
       their own benefit. They document the proliferation of 
       regressive regulations that redistribute wealth and income
       up the economic scale while stifling entrepreneurship and 
       innovation. When the state entrenches privilege by 
       subverting market competition, the tradeoff between equity
       and efficiency no longer holds. Over the past four decades,
       new regulatory barriers have worked to shield the powerful
       from the rigors of competition, thereby inflating their 
       incomes-sometimes to an extravagant degree. Lindsey and 
       Teles detail four of the most important cases: subsidies 
       for the financial sector's excessive risk taking, 
       overprotection of copyrights and patents, favoritism 
       toward incumbent businesses through occupational licensing
       schemes, and the NIMBY-led escalation of land use controls
       that drive up rents for everyone else. Freeing the economy
       from regressive regulatory capture will be difficult. 
       Lindsey and Teles are realistic about the chances for 
       reform, but they offer a set of promising strategies to 
       improve democratic deliberation and open pathways for 
       meaningful policy change. An original and counterintuitive
       interpretation of the forces driving inequality and 
       stagnation, The Captured Economy is a "must-listen" for 
       anyone concerned about America's mounting economic 
       problems and the social tensions they are sparking.
