ars libertatis

Über das Verbot, sich am Sonntag ein Paar Sneaker zu leisten oder es an jemanden zu verkaufen:

In the end, the law exists not because so many Germans don’t want to shop on Sundays but because so many of them do. In a modern economy, there’s something wrong with a policy that bars shoppers and stores from doing business when they find it mutually agreeable. Maybe it’s time to give that approach a rest.¹
