| The anarchist case for climate action
A spate of recent articles have purported to offer the “conservative case for a carbon tax” or the “libertarian case for climate action,” or some similar riff. R Street itself has contributed to the genre on occasion. I want to do something even more challenging: present the case for action on climate change from an anarchist—specifically, anarcho-capitalist—perspective. For those not up on the terminology, an anarcho-capitalist is someone who believes the free market can and should handle all government functions. An anarcho-capitalist takes the sorts of arguments that a conservative or libertarian might use to argue that Amtrak and the U.S. Postal Service ought to be privatized and applies them to things like roads, police, courts and national defense. It is, needless to say, a very uncompromising point of view.

So he concludes that there's a role for government after all...
Fucking minarchists. |
