| Subject: Governing Least: a New England Libertarianism Mon Dec 16, 2019 11:32 pm | |
| This book defends a version of libertarianism focused on economic justice that is distinctive in two respects. First, libertarianism is often presented as resting on strong assumptions about individual rights. By contrast, the first part of the book argues that libertarianism emerges from everyday moral beliefs we have about burden-shifting, and the residual obligations that burden-shifting confers on us. Second, political philosophy has become an increasingly narrow and insular field, disconnected from work in economics, history, and politics. The rest of the book bucks this trend by reexamining such topics as reparations for slavery, political correctness, and the “Great Divergence” between low- and high-growth societies from a classical liberal perspective.
