The older I get the less enthusiastic I get about government regulations with a few exceptions. First, ones that balance the cost of negative externalities, clearly not being accounted for in the behavior of market participants.

Second, ones that increase the information about a market (transparency) so that all participants can make better decisions.

To that second end I would really love to see governments force companies to report headcount on a per role basis and anonymized compensation data about each of these roles on a monthly basis.

That way would could more easily contextualize posts like this one.
