Senior Research Fellow Patrick McLaughlin demonstrates the growth of
federal regulation in the United States since 1950 by stacking books
from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
The red and black
colors do not signify anything relevant to this demonstration. The
federal government releases partial updates to the CFR on a quarterly
basis and changes the color from one year to the next.
Book
stacks for 1950, 1970, and 1990 are represented using the average size
volume in 2013, which is roughly 750 pages long. Stack size is
calculated by dividing the page count in those years by 750 pages.
