It’s good to read a column by a college student who not only understands market economics, but endorses it. From Benton Sawrey comes this in The Technician:
North Carolina needs to privatize alcohol sales, albeit with regulation to ensure that there is no abuse. The state allows private business to sell beer and wine with special taxes and regulations; why can’t liquor be sold in the same manner?
Privatization will result in more efficient investment by private owners that can better serve particular locations and allow the government to focus its time and revenues on more important and pertinent issues.
