“The end is not to eliminate choice (or the lessons that may be learned from misguided choices), but to
remove from the market choices that will more than likely be made only by those who are susceptible to
non maximising considerations. … given the comparative advantage that sellers have with respect to
knowledge about their products, and given the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of potential customers,
minimum quality and safety standards (and occupational licensing) represent an attempt to overcome the
worst effects of exploitation.”
