(UNOFFICIAL) American Regulation Index

Is overregulation the root of stagnation? What is regulation correlated with? This project builds a polished, quantitative index from federal data sources to provide a clearer view of regulatory growth and its possible implications. It’s not a final word, but a small tool to explore how regulation has taken shape over time. Combined with approximate Public Debt and Currency In Circulation.

In essence, the following three charts provide an at least partial causation to Thiel's long-vindicated stagnation argument. A stark quantifiable increase in regulation, revocation of the Bretton Woods system and parabolic Public Debt.
