Overview: As the economic power of private sector business has grown over the past century, so too has the number of laws regulating business activity. In broad terms, these laws typically serve one of two objectives: to promote market competition and control the market power of large firms over customers and smaller firms, or to mitigate the adverse effects of business activity on individuals and other organizations. Regulations on business can benefit a range of stakeholders, including corporate and financial institutions, interest groups, employees, customers, and the general public.
