At CEI, we often write about the concept of “regulatory capture,” the economic process by which government rules end up being written more to benefit corporations than restrain them, as a result of lobbying and special-interest influence. We can see that when some of the biggest corporations in the world sign up to a new project that will supposedly force them to act against their own financial interests.</font></font></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.01) 0px 0px 1px; background-color: rgb(243, 243, 243);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">We see this effect all the time, including in areas like antitrust.
