Also a good example here of demand-led misinformation โ for most of the medieval period, the official position of the Church was that witches weren't real even though there was a lot of belief in witches among the mass public.
Things changed due to the Reformation.

In parts of Europe, you got competition between Catholic & Protestant churches and since lots of people believed in witches the religious authorities would compete to show who was better at finding them.
In places with less competition, fewer witches.

Rules banning chain stores from this or that sector seem really bad โ anti-productivity, lowers wages, etc

Fossil fuels are regulated in a cost-benefit framework where the downsides are weighed against the upside of having electricity.
Nuclear is subject to stricter rules that make much safer & cleaner than the competition but too expensive.
