Warning: shameless puffery ensues.
The second issue of The Industrial Radical (iRad for short), the Molinari Institute’s left-libertarian market-anarchist magazine, went in the mail to subscribers yesterday (after a long delay, owing in part to formatting changes resulting from a switch in computers between issues), with articles [...]
Property-Owning Democracy is Unworkable
By Kevin Vallier On December 5, 2012 · 13 Comments · In Academic Philosophy, Liberalism, Social Justice
In my last two posts, I explained Rawls’s idea of a property-owning democracy (POD) as elaborated by Thad Williamson and Martin O’Neill in much of their recent work, including this Boston Review piece. In this post, I argue that property-owning democracy is unworkable. I shall make two arguments to [...]
I’ve got a new video up at LearnLiberty.org on libertarianism and social justice. Actually, it’s the first in a two-part series. This video covers the standard libertarian critique of social justice, as expressed by Robert Nozick and Friedrich Hayek. The next video will suggest a way in which libertarianism and social justice might be reconciled.

We BHLers are getting noticed by a wider array of groups (hopefully by more once we kick off Tomasi-fest). It’s exciting in part because we are increasingly setting the terms of the debate between libertarians and progressives, insofar as progressives are interested in having such a debate. We’re also setting the terms of [...]
In my previous post I tried to figure out how, across Hayek’s writings as a whole, he could simultaneously support institutions that we commonly think of as part of a “welfare state” and argue that “welfare states” lead to totalitarian outcomes, though less quickly and obviously than full-on socialism. Henry Farrell, over at [...]
Until recently, I had only read the first two books of Hayek’s grand trilogy Law, Legislation and Liberty. People told me that the third book was the least interesting. The real action, they said, was in the first two books. I decided to see for myself [...]
BHL’s & UBI’s
By Jessica Flanigan On April 30, 2012 · 116 Comments · In Liberalism, Libertarianism, Social Justice
I support a Universal Basic Income (UBI), and I think that other libertarians ought to as well. Earlier, Jason sketched the difference between ‘hard libertarians’ and BHL, but didn’t give a specific definition and argument for social justice, as David Friedman then pointed out. Friedman also said that BHL’s don’t say what [...]
During the recent Cato Unbound discussion on the history of libertarian thought, David Friedman has asked how the “neo-Rawlsian” libertarianism that John Tomasi and Matt Zwolinski (and I) affirm is a compelling alternative to the natural rights and utilitarian defenses of libertarianism. In this post, I explain the version of neo-Rawlsian [...]
I thought it might be useful to revisit the ongoing discussion about what makes for a Bleeding Heart Libertarian. In this post, I offer a case that I think will separate a Strong BHL from traditional self-ownership libertarians. A Strong BHL holds that a substantial part of the justification of libertarian institutions is [...]
