Discuss some of the ways in which the state regulates the economy and businesses. What is the purpose of these regulating policies?
What will be an ideal response?
Some regulatory policies are designed to prevent large businesses from forming monopolies that will drive smaller businesses away and stock market traders from using inside information to profit at others' expense. There are also laws that protect consumers against false advertising and that impose workplace and product safety standards. These regulating policies are to protect consumers and innocent third parties. They also give new businesses the opportunity to compete fairly with incumbent businesses.
