With a PhD in risk science and decades of experience as a regulator, consultant, and academic, Finkel has dedicated his career to dissecting the complex interplay between government oversight and economic vitality. In his seminal book 'Does Regulation Kill Jobs?', he challenges conventional wisdom by presenting rigorous evidence that well-designed regulations can foster innovation and job creation rather than stifle them.
