Philosopher Matt Zwolinski on Bleeding-Heart Libertarians
Description
When libertarians try to convince people of libertarianism, they do it by talking about the way in which free markets make life better for the poor," says Matt Zwolinski. A bleeding-heart libertarian realizes that an abiding concern for the most vulnerable in society is an essential part of any moral political system. "But, simply being committed to social justice does not mean that you have to be committed to the view that government must directly try to promote the well-being of the poor".
