The CEO of RBS warned about a huge fine facing the bank due to the Libor scandal; meanwhile HSBC set aside $2 billion to cover regulatory problems, including Libor-rigging and money laundering. We often cover regulation violations by the big banks, but today will talk about a litany of absurd small business regulations that could be crushing entrepreneurs. We ask our guest Jeffrey Tucker, Author of "A Beautiful Anarchy: How to Create your own Civilization in the Digital Age," about the impact of small business regulation.
Also, Mitt Romney was in Poland, after making headlines for his Iran tough talk and UK blunders. Does this campaigning seem like noise?
