Economic Liberty and Occupational Licensing

On Oct. 4, 2010, Show-Me Institute Policy Analyst Dave Roland, now with the Freedom Center of Missouri, spoke in Columbia on the topic of occupational licensing and the right to earn a living. Titled “Economic Liberty and Occupational Licensing: If You Aren’t Outraged, You’re Not Paying Enough Attention,” his talk relates the stories of a few specific individuals who have been harmed by occupational licensing, as well as the history of licensing — both in general, as well as in Missouri.
