Regulatory “Baptists” are parties participating in group action driven by an avowed higher moral purpose or desire to serve the public interest.By examining major regulatory activities including Obamacare, the recent financial crisis bailouts, climate change legislation, and rules governing “sinful” substances, Bootleggers & Baptists reveals that lasting regulations require moral and financial advocacy to survive the American political process.
