I am willing to cut the author some slack for leaving out detail in the interest of space:

    These regulations have accreted over time with virtually no cost-benefit analysis (except for vast quantities of analysis performed by academics interested in anticipating unintended consequences, the differences between intentions and outcomes, and the lessons of public choice theory, all of which made no difference because it was ignored by the regulators).

The fact that quite a bit of it wouldn't support his views might have something to do with it.
