Too Far for Rothkopf

A Clinton administration Commerce Department official, David Rothkopf, writes in the Financial Times:

Legislators seem to be competing to offer the most draconian new regulatory measures or to appear the most implacable in the search for malfeasance on the part of business. There are ironic echoes of a prior administration in which out-of-shape pols who had never commanded troops in battle liked nothing better than sending soldiers off to war – except that today it is out-of-shape pols who have never run a business slapping around chief executives and telling them how to manage their companies.
