I think, generally, it's not a matter of "more" vs. "less", but a matter of application. E.g., using the USA as an example, it *should* be easier and less overall regulated and expensive for people to start businesses. It *should* be more streamlined with less paperwork and bureaucracy to hire employees or conduct business. However, fine and punishments for businesses acting poorly or outside of the law ought be extremely severe, and the severity of punishment ought scale steeply with the size/income of said business and the severity of the violations. So, to me, it's a lot more about "balance". ---We make it extremely difficult and expensive and bureaucratic to run a business in the United States, and, meanwhile, we also allow businesses to metaphorically (or, in some cases, literally) "get away with murder". The regulations and fines and bureaucracy that we maintain is imbalanced and harmful towards growth, while being impotent at controlling bad behaviors of market entities.
