Document Summary

Nozick"s libertarianism: heart of freedom = free market / market freedom. Free market is inherently just / fair. A market redistribution is unfair / unjust because its a violation of liberty: person and property is fundamental. State has to minimal, exchange is voluntary, members are secure: freedom trumps all other claims, the state"s role is fairly limited, most forms of taxations are seen as violation, entitlement theory. If i acquire my property justly, i can do whatever i want with it but this can lead to inequality because. Principle of transfer: whenever is justly acquired can be freely transferred; you have the right to do whatever you want for your property. Principle of just initial acquisition: how the property was acquired in the rst place; if you acquired the property, you can do whatever you want with it. Principle of recti cation: how to deal with property that is unjustly required, freedom and property are connected.
