I agree that saying ALL employee laws are begat from a direct response to abuse is too strong and probably not literal. Some majority sure, almost definitely, but it would be shocking if there are not any counter examples.

Exactly! Legislation is an extremely noisy process. On a side note, I guess there is also some security against "retrospectively irrational" decision making in that noise as well..

I wonder though if there is any research made on such "externalised legislational costs". I believe it would be an interesting subject!

Also a fun fact: a large part of the corpus of modern coomercial law arised "organically" from old fragmented europe using derivated roman law in its interactions.

P.s sorry for lot of these " "
