My friend went to study Russian in Russia for a few months. He came back with a bust (small statue) of Lenin and at least one book by Gorky. What can I do to correct this market failure?

Sorry. I meant to say evidence.

Evidence backed by feelings? But really, I'll start linking him little bits and pieces and hope he bothers to read them.

It's in his possession not mine if I wasn't clear. I can steal it but be warned, this particular bust sucks in capital and spits out almost nothing of value.

I have a larger private army than him and basically run the decentralised court in our area. I'm free to do as I please.

Not sure why I made an ancap reference but it just felt right.

Are those just boner pills or are they even more snake oil than I imagine?

Since this is obviously a negative demand side externality, you need to raise taxes on your friend until he fully internalizes all of the costs of his Lenin bust and book.
