You would do well to talk to minarchists, who are libertarians who believe in small governments that only perform a role of setting regulations and enforcing them, rather than governments being active market participants
- tchaffee 5y agoI've talked to a few minarchists and I remember them being against almost all regulations and only supporting court systems, the military, and other institutions that could be corrupted if privately owned. This article seems to support my memory of those debates. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night-watchman_state#Philosophy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night-watchman_state#Philosoph... Minarchy as described in that article would do a very poor job of regulating negative externalities and the criticisms I made in my parent post still apply. I know it's a big world our there and I could probably find a minarchist or even a libertarian who has a reasonable take on regulation of negative externalities, but so far I've been consistently disappointed. And it's not like it's tough to find debates around these subjects.
