Why It's Hard to Get a Business Off the Ground [video] (youtube.com)

I have just come back to Australia from 2 months in SE Asia and one of the most striking difference is the lack of rules - in particular how easy it is to get a business going if you want to. As countries develop, they introduce rules which tend to slow down economic growth. Some of these rules are good (it feels a lot safer here due to better road rules, construction etc), but many are pointless and introduced for the wrong reasons as the video indicates.
