Synopsis

This analysis explores how many cities, despite their progressive labels, often impede technological advancement by imposing outdated regulations on innovative services like Uber and Airbnb. It argues that these policies, often driven by special interests, ultimately disadvantage workers and consumers. The book advocates for state intervention to overrule local policies that stifle innovation, ensuring cities can continue to drive economic progress.
