“Toward the end of my recent lecture at the Oklahoma City Mises Circle, I mentioned that one peculiar aspect of small businesses, as a group, is that they are very bad at lobbying the government for special favors. We can contrast this, for example, with the financial sector and commercial airlines, or with large manufacturers in areas like steel, aerospace, and automobiles. All of these industries have received major bailouts or subsidies in recent decades, or have been direct recipients of government spending and protectionist policy.” (02/25/26)
