Thursday, 28 June 2007 by Joscelynn TomawThe confluence of Jacob’s shocking admission that he is, at heart, an Anarchist (I really thought it was a typo at first.), the latest episode of EconTalk and pregnancy hormones sent the Tomaw household into high turmoil last night. Is government necessary? What exactly is a Right?
Fortunately, after apologies and concessions were made, the argument resulted in clarity. Pending further research, I am now willing to label my political philosophy Consequentialist Libertarian. Any suggested reading material would be greatly appreciated, although I’ve got most of the Economists covered.
Geeze-o-Pete! If our house sometimes bulges at the seams trying to contain two different views on Libertarianism, how do James Carville and Mary Matalin ever make it work?
