要是我们能减少监管就好了，这样技术就能应用到更多领域，老牌企业及其利益集团也不至于卡死经济命脉。推荐阅读：Lindsey、Teles 等人写的《被俘获的经济》（The Captured Economy），以及查尔斯·默里的《依靠人民》（By The People）。
If only we could reduce regulation, so technology could be applied to more areas, and the incumbent companies and their cronies didn't have a strangehold on the economy. Recommended reading: The Captured Economy by Lindsey, Teles, et al. By The People by Charles Murray
…That's a great summary of the structural problems in our government that allow regressive rent seeking to overtake so many industries. For a (slightly) longer exposition I found chapters 6 and 7 of "The Captured Economy" by Lindsey and Teles quite informative.
…effectively captured by local residents who, for completely rational concerns about their uninsurable property values, push for lots of legislation designed to mitigate change. I found chapters 6 and 7 of "The Captured Economy" by Lindsey and Teles to be the best exposition on this. They also detail a few ways one could change the system (eg. paying staffers more to attract better talent would make lobbyists jobs harder).
……关于宗教历史，以及现代人对其有多少误解。罗伯特·卡洛的《林登·约翰逊传》（Years of Lyndon Johnson），一部关于美国总统林登·B·约翰逊的详尽且考据扎实的传记。Lindsey 和 Teles 的《被俘获的经济》（The Captured Economy） Alan Taylor 的《美国革命》（American Revolutions） Vasili Grossman 的《一切都在流动》（Everything Flows） Peter Frankopan 的《丝绸之路》（Silk Roads），从中亚视角展开的世界史。《太完美》（Too Perfect:…

I recommend starting by reducing all the problems mentioned in the book "The Captured Economy", in particular residential zoning restrictions, occupational licensing (for all but the most safety relevant professions), and patent reform. To that I would add, significantly simplify all laws, processes,…

……总结得太好了，直接点出了我们政府体制层面的结构性问题，正是这些问题让倒退式寻租（regressive rent seeking）侵蚀了如此多的行业。如果想看（稍微）长一点的阐述，我觉得 Lindsey 和 Teles 写的《被俘获的经济》（The Captured Economy）第6章和第7章干货满满。

……实际上被当地居民俘获了，出于对无法投保的房产价值完全理性的担忧，他们推动了大量旨在减缓变化的立法。我觉得 Lindsey 和 Teles 写的《被俘获的经济》（The Captured Economy）第6章和第7章是对这一点最好的阐述。他们还详述了几种改变体制的方法（比如给幕僚人员提高薪水以吸引更优秀的人才，这会让游说客的工作更难做）。

我建议先着手减少《被俘获的经济》（The Captured Economy）一书中提到的所有问题，尤其是住宅分区规划限制（residential zoning restrictions）、职业许可（除了与安全最相关的行业之外全砍掉），以及专利改革。此外我还要加上一条：大幅简化所有法律、流程……
