> he libertarian position on wealth inequality is that as long as the distribution of wealth was determined voluntarily (without state privilege, in particular), then there is no problem.
I'd like to remind the world there are such things as consequentialist Libertarians who view the value of their policy preferences based on their outcomes rather than the NAP.
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoDo you have any good reading material on consequentialist libertarians? I only ever run into deontological ones.
- ticviking 9y agoHonestly not really, the blog "bleeding heart libertarians" tends to focus on the consequentialist arguments more, but most of the contributors seem to be deontological in outlook. Most of the consequentialists wind up becoming pretty standard neo-liberals as they are willing to consider government intervention when needed.
