Blog Symposium on Libertarianism and Land!

By On February 2, 2012 · 10 Comments · In Announcements, Blog Administration

I’m very pleased to announce that from April 23-27 of 2012, the Bleeding Heart Libertarian blog will be hosting a virtual symposium on the topic of “Libertarianism and Land!”

The five day event will explore different libertarian perspectives on questions pertaining to the moral justification of and limits on property rights in land. Each day will feature a keynote post from one of our main participants. The other main participants will have the opportunity to respond with posts of their own, and the general public is welcome to participate in the comments thread.

We’ve lined up some terrific people for this event. Our main participants will be:

  • Eric Mack - Professor of Philosophy at Tulane University
  • Hillel Steiner - Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Manchster
  • Fred Foldvary - Lecturer in Economics at Santa Clara University
  • Kevin Carson - Blogger and author
  • David Schmidtz - Professor of Philosophy and Economics at the University of Arizona

More information to follow as the date draws nearer. I hope you’ll join us for what I think will be a fascinating discussion!

    Thank-you, Matt. I sincerely believe that this is the key to rapprochement between the two camps.

    Property rights in land is an evolved behavior going back to our lobe-finned fish ancestry, without which ritual and thus the arts would have never emerged (let alone our individualistic social behavior).

    Very much looking forward to this! This blog has been very useful, and refreshing considering how many other libertarian discussion forums turn into echo-chambers.

    I know things don’t revolve around me, but I love listening to events like this via podcasts.  If that could be setup I would certainly listen to it.  I like to access stuff like that during my commutes or when exercising.   Support via advertising seems to be the most typical method of financing it, but user donations may also help.

    Here we are in the 21st century without broad agreement on the very same principles raised by John Locke, Richard Cantillon and the long list of history’s greatest minds courageous enough to challenge vested authority on “the land question.” I look forward to the exchange of perspectives.
