Document Summary
Libertarianism is about free will and the freedom of the will to act without state interference. Interested in the freedom supposedly created by a market economy. Not about limiting state entirely, it"s about the minimal state . Problem that libertarianism would have to deal with: If us land were divided by us wealth, the richest 1% would own over 1/3 of the country"s wealth. That is more than the combined wealth of the bottom 90% They would argue that this is not necessarily just; the state should (ethically wrong) not take from the rich to give to the poor unless inequality results from force or fraud. There is nothing unfair about economic inequality, provided it arises without force or fraud, through the choices people make in a market economy (sandel) It undermines incentive to work hard, to do well in the market if the government is going to take it anyway.
