Chris Berg (2015) | Nanny State

If we don’t think our fellow citizens are capable of making the
right choices about what they eat and drink, why do we think they
are capable of voting?


Since researcher Chris Berg presented this 2015 FODI talk, this
question rings eerily true to what many individuals are
experiencing today. Who is best placed to make the decisions for
us – we the people, or the state?  


Chris Berg is a Senior Fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs,
