“Libertarians want to move in the direction of a free market society. But of course, not everyone is on board with this ideal. Some people think a free market would be unjust, or inefficient. In this post, however, I want to explore a different objection. The problem with trying to establish a free market society, according to the argument I want to consider, is that there’s simply no such thing. The argument takes two different forms. Each version contains an important grain of truth, which libertarians ought to take seriously. But neither argument gets critics to where they want to go. Neither gives us reason to reject the libertarian ideal of a free market. Or so I’ll argue.” (09/06/24)
