The Bootlegger and Baptist Argument for Public Regulation

A lot of regulations are the strange coalition of people who have high-minded altruistic motives and those who are very self-interested. You alluded to that at one point in your book so I'd like you to talk about that and see if there's some way to that might explain this distinction between crack and powder cocaine enforcement. Obviously I think suburban white kids in rich neighborhoods and high education parents they don't like their kids going to jail but what about this bootlegrin Baptist argument that some people with some direct economic interest have been pushing for this increased sentencing and incarceration do we have any evidence about that lobbying data or contributions to politicians?
