Mainly thinking about this because of some of the comments in this post here, but I do think while what we currently have right now is way too much regulation.
Some examples of 'good regulation' in my opinion would be the existence of drivers' licenses, 'right to repair' laws, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and building codes.
While some notable 'bad regulation' is anything to do with 2A restrictions and the modern health care industry.
Overall, I'm just trying to gauge what is good vs bad regulation.
The ideal amount of regulation is the least amount of regulation possible.
Driver's licenses are terrible regulations by the way.
Right to repair laws are also terrible regulations.
Building codes and warranty acts are also terrible regulations.
You are right about the bad regulations.
For the ideal amount of regulation take whatever the average person thinks is good regulation and cut it down by about 90% then we're closer to the ideal.
Why?
