Legal Reform as Supply‑Side Strategy

Economic commentators and well‑paid professional interests are reframing routine civil litigation as a systemic drag on growth to justify sweeping tort and court‑procedure changes that would shift risk and costs onto plaintiffs. That rhetorical pivot treats transfers (settlements, jury awards) as productivity losses and calls for legal rules that favor corporate decision‑making over accountability. — If adopted as a mainstream supply‑side plank, this framing could reshape court access, liability incentives, and the balance between corporate power and consumer or worker enforcement across industries.
