From last year's sudden shortages of baby formula to the Jones Act and President Lyndon Johnson's infamous "Chicken War," host Eric Boehm sits down with industry experts and libertarian policy wonks to explore how these counterproductive rules got made – and explain why they can be so difficult to undo.
