The Economic Consequences of 'The Reef'


In 1919, John Maynard Keynes wrote The Economic Consequences of the Peace.

My just-released Cato Institute study shows that prohibition entails government expenditure of more than $41 billion a year. At the same time, the government misses out on about $47 billion in tax revenues that could be collected from legalized drugs.
