Here’s a webinar video of a discussion I had recently with Kevin Gomez and his colleague at the Institute for Economic Inquiry at Creighton University’s School of Business. We discussed my new book, Evasive Entrepreneurs and the Future of Governance: How Innovation Improves Economies and Governments and the future of “permissionless innovation” more generally. My thanks to Kevin and his team at Creighton for inviting me to join them for a fun discussion. Topics include:
- why evasive entrepreneurialism is expanding
- the growth of innovation arbitrage
- the difference between technologies that are “born free” versus “born in captivity”
- the nature of “the pacing problem” and what it means for policy
- the problem with “set-it-and-forget-it” & “build-and-freeze” regulations
- technological risk and the potential for “soft law” governance
- sensible legislative reforms to advance permissionless innovation (such as “the innovator’s presumption” and “the sunsetting imperative”)
- how the COVID crisis potentially opens the Overton Window to much-needed policy change
