Nice List Of Free Market Health Reforms – Paul Hsieh
Policy
A Libertarian Party must have a libertarian manifesto. A document explaining what libertarians would do with their five years in power.
No Representation without Taxation
A couple of weeks ago, Pro-Capitalist posed the thought experiment Should people on (unemployment) benefits be allowed to vote? The basis of his argument, and I’m paraphrasing here, is that by allowing those who are ‘net receivers’ of government money to choose how it is spent ensures we are stuck in a cycle which...

Fracking impossible in a libertarian system
The TV is full of pictures of people affected by Fracking, not just in the UK but from around the world. It occurred to me that a proper respect for property would stop Fracking in it’s tracks. First this was bad TV because it invites people to compare costs and benefits based on all...

Taxation, theft and pragmatism
As any right-thinking anarcho-libertarian will tell you; taxation is theft, or to be more accurate, robbery. This kind of straight talk tends to make the minarchists and classical liberals wince. They may concede the point on the blandly rational grounds that it is correct, but they find it a little tactless to point it...

In order to achieve a libertarian society, we must consider the sales pitch.
I’ve decided to take a bit of a break from the exam revision to briefly get off my chest something that’s been bugging me for quite a while. It’s something that I am no stranger to encountering, but it is important for us rational libertarians to acknowledge that the thing that is actually our...

Freedom and Piracy
Some food for thought before the meeting on Thursday. After the non-aggression axiom, the right to own property has always been high on the list of fixations of those of a libertarian instinct.

We’re offered three bills during the fixed five-year term in exchange for taking a coalition whip. What realistic three bills would you demand? Go too...

The Challenges of the Abortion Debate
I am of the view that perhaps the greatest challenge a libertarian will face in defining their politics is when faced with the argument on abortion. A debate that has raged on for literally decades, it is perhaps one of the more troubling subjects with which some libertarians will struggle to get to grips....

Nudge as a transitory measure
Thanks in part to the current controversy over benefit caps there has been a lot of discussion at Libertarian Home about how and whether Welfare fits in with the ideology, and it became clear how varied the views are within the movement. Representing the objectivist corner, I made my position clear that I consider...

How many do they think they are?
New commenter Laogai has penned an excellent comment which is worthy of greater attention. In one post he deftly identifies an interesting contradiction in the minds of left wing commentators and follows by neatly summing up the libertarian approach to welfare. Laogai writes: Charity for the poor can be implemented in at least two...
