  1. I have posted a link here for a short article that argues that Sarbanes-Oxley is another unnecessarily burdensome regulation that dampens entrepreneurship. This article posits that the tighter controls imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley to protect shareholders appear to have come at the expense of new jobs and innovation. Additionally, in an already credit-constrained economy, opening capital markets for entrepreneurial financing, including stock exchanges, is important. The author of the article states that policymakers should re-evaluate the effect of SOX on entrepreneurial firms and consider turning its most onerous requirements optional.
