Economic growth — including, importantly, wage growth — is ultimately driven by increases in productivity. The most effective way of driving productivity is a deepening of the capital stock. Capital, however, only multiplies in a hospitable environment — one of liquid, efficient capital markets with a respect for both contract and property. Has America lost that hospitable environment? If so, can it be regained? Please join a distinguished group of speakers at this special Cato Institute summit as they examine the current state of U.S. capital markets regulation and offer proposals for unleashing a new engine of American economic growth.
