Thomas SCHELLING on paper crimes

"I have emphasized that a difference between black-market crimes and most others, like racketeering and robbery, is that they are “crimes” only because we have legislated against the commodity they provide. We single out certain goods and services as harmful or sinful; for reasons of history and tradition, and for other reasons, we forbid dope but not tobacco, gambling in casinos but not on the stock-market, extra-marital sex but not gluttony, erotic stories but not mystery stories."
