Consequences and Causes of Unequal Distribution of Wealth, PhD dissertation, 1984.
     This is a trade theory model of wealth distribution. The "rich" have a high ratio of assets to labor; the "poor" have a low ratio. They trade across a barrier of transaction costs. The more unequal the distribution, or the higher the transaction costs, the lower economic productivity and growth. The model has many interesting implications, including an explanation of social class. For more detail see C&C Background.

     If enforcement were cut back, the following would happen: 1. Prices would fall, marijuana especially, shifting consumption to marijuana and away from hard drugs and possibly alcohol. 2. Black market sales volume would increase, but the number of dealers would decrease. 3. The black market would become less dangerous, as stable adult dealers took over from violent teenage dealers. 4. The number of problem drug users would probably not increase, but their per capita consumption would increase.
