Last week, while visiting the political and business capitals of Brazil, I was able to study the plan for deregulating the Brazilian economy and speak with some of the plan’s architects. The MP da Liberdade Economica (MPLE) the economic freedom provisional measure, has the same standing as any law; it has been signed by President Jair Bolsonaro. In 60 days regulations to implement it will expand its effects. It is the best plan I have seen and evaluated during my long career in policy research and advocacy. It has the potential to liberate the creative capacity of a large percentage of the most punished sector of the population.

The plan eliminates countless regulations and permissions, which has generated strong opposition by the bureaucrats and public servants who many times, with good intentions, have spent decades of their lives trying to enforce them. The goal of MPLE is clearly stated: the debureaucratization and simplification of the regulations affecting small businesses. Most of the deregulatory plans appears in the Article 3 of this law. It has 10 subsections (incisos in Portuguese), which read like the 10 Commandments of economic liberation.
