DESCRIPTION

In this episode, we sanitize and refine our arguments for the utopian ideas of market anarchy by reviewing a flight of beers that claim compliance with the world's oldest consumer protection law: The Bavarian Beer Purity Law of 1516.  What is the consumer protection and how does it impact industries?  Is there a market replacement for consumer protection laws?  Let's take a look!
