LONDON, Aug. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Follow Up mechanism of the United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) has issued a report concluding that Spain has failed to implement the Committee's decision in the case of Garzón v. Spain.

The British Miracle Meat: how banning repugnant choices obscures the real issue of poverty

Wednesday, August 2, 2023

A provocative Channel 4 satirical programme, The British Miracle Meat, has led to hundreds of complaints to media regulator Ofcom.

Key Points:

A provocative Channel 4 satirical programme, The British Miracle Meat, has led to hundreds of complaints to media regulator Ofcom.
The show was inspired by Jonathan Swift’s satire A Modest Proposal (1726), in which the author of Gulliver’s Travels suggests poor Irish people sell their children for food.
The Channel 4 show’s creators wanted to make viewers think about the effects of the cost of living crisis, as well as the future of food.

Repugnant markets

Perhaps the most famous real-life example of a repugnant market is the French case of “dwarf-tossing” bans.
There were no concerns about his safety – Wackenheim was using helmets and padded clothing.
Underneath the initial shock about certain transactions, what people find repugnant in some markets seems to be what they reveal about poverty and the choices it forces people to make.
But because they do not involve money directly changing hands, many people aren’t as immediately driven to call for action from the government.

The price of everything

The same could be said for markets for pollution and environmental taxes, which put an explicit price on the right to pollute.
The standard economic approach to fighting climate change is to put a price on carbon that corresponds to its social cost.
Governments, businesses and individuals must then pay for the cost their pollution imposes on society.
But the current price of carbon in the EU (around £80 per tonne of CO²) and in the UK (around £45/t) only applies to a small subset of industries.
