Welcome to Kloeker’s Education Foundation, where we provide quality content for amazing teachers. In this video, we explore the evolving relationship between government and private enterprise in the U.S. economy—how it started, why it expanded, and what it means for businesses today.

🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Lesson:

The original role of government in business: protecting property, enforcing contracts, and settling disputes

Why government’s role expanded due to:
• Industrialization and unfair business practices
• Environmental and consumer protection needs
• Growth in technology and population

The purposes of government involvement, including:
• Providing public goods
• Improving public welfare and health
• Stabilizing the economy (monetary and fiscal policy)
• Supporting competition, consumers, and specific industries

How government regulates business using:
• Laws, licensing, and wage/price controls
• Regulatory agencies like the FDA, FCC, OSHA, and FTC

The positive and negative effects of regulation

Who pays for regulation (hint: taxes and borrowing)

Ethical reflection in The Gray Zone: Should neighboring business owners be able to block legal businesses from opening in their district?
