“What does an end to the drug war means for the police state in America?” with Dr. Mark Thornton
On this edition of De-Manufacturing Consent, Guillermo welcomes Dr. Mark Thornton of the Ludwig Von Mises Institute onto the show. Dr. Thornton and Guillermo discuss the “Economics of Prohibition” by examining the economics forces at work within “black markets,” who really stands to gain financially from prohibition, and the potential benefits on society that would come by putting an end to the abject failure that is the “war on drugs.” What does an end to the drug war mean for the police state in America? What is nullification and what makes it a viable solution? All this and much more on today’s episode.
