Unsung Heroes: Private Food Inspectors

Recommendable! Anybody who believes that food safety depended on government inspections is pretty foolish! Private businesses themselves have a keen self-interest to make sure that their food is safe and enjoyable!

"In Private Governance, prominent economist Edward Stringham presents case studies of the various forms of private enforcement, self-governance, or self-regulation among private groups or individuals that fill a void that government enforcement cannot."
It is by far not just a void left by government, it goes far beyond. Private assurance of product/service quality or safety, contract fulfillment etc. have been plenty in history!

Unsung Heroes: Private Food Inspectors – AIER: Both mortality and morbidity figures would be much higher if Americans really did leave something as fundamental as food safety to government bureaucrats.
