Labour doesn't need protecting by Uncle Sam if there are no laws preventing cross soliciting and fair market value for their services.
And speaking of government intervention, are patents not a form of that? In particular, a form of government intervention being used here to try to prevent competition for employees?
Would the libertarian position not be to abolish both patents and also enforcement of any kind of non-solicit provisions, thus promoting a completely free market for workers and companies?
- parasubvert 14y agoI'm not a libertarian, but I would think that anti-solicitation and non-competes are contractual matters. If you contractually agree to them, that's not coersion. In practice, every jurisdiction is different in terms of enforcing non-competes. It's all about government intervention to prevent collusion among business owners.
