Abstract: The performance of the American economy during the 1970s was distinctly inferior to the record of the previous decade. A prominent hypothesis is that oppressive government regulation was largely responsible for the poor performance of the 1970s. This article examines that hypothesis with respect to a key marcoeconomic indicator: the rate of productivity growth.
