Prohibitions impose huge costs on individuals and society, yet produce few
benefits in return -
A major new study, released today by the Institute of Economic Affairs,
argues that the expansion of the 'nanny state' should be halted. A
'banning culture' has seen greater restrictions placed on what
individuals are permitted to do with their own bodies on private property.
The study, conducted by a distinguished international panel of experts
under Dr John Meadowcroft of King's College London, examines the
outlawing of the manufacture, distribution, sale or provision of
particular goods and services by consenting adults. A wide range of issues
are covered including gun control, prostitution and recreational drugs.
