Noxious Markets: Applying Debra Satz’s Theory to the Case of the Pornographic Industry
This article aims to analyze the pornographic industry and its impact on inequality and subordination of women. Applying Debra Satz’s theoretical study on prostitution (2010), we will argue that pornography is a noxious market. Based on this statement, we will study the difference between this market and others that might have similar effects. Then, we will consider the costs and benefits in terms of rights, as well as the factual possibilities and efficiency of its prohibition. We will conclude that, despite being a morally problematic market, prohibiting pornography is not an obvious response to it.
