A Race Between Freedom and Regulatory Entrepreneurs

There is a race between technical and political entrepreneurs on the side of freedom (Uber was both a technological and political innovation that mobilized 10,000 voting millennials to get around the taxi lobby) and political entrepreneurs on the other side, who have a wonderful opportunity to use the regulatory state to ensure big businesses support their campaigns—so the outcome depends on which kind of entrepreneurship prevails.
