Occupational licensing is a great place to start. Another place to look is at the boards who control licensure. They invariably forget their job is to protect consumers from bad actors rather than protect the industry from competition. In my opinion, an occupational board should not have members of the occupation being policed as voting members of the board. Rather, members of the occupation being regulated should be advisors. Voting members of the board should be independent of the occupation.
