The Vital CenterThe old, weird history of libertarianism, with Matt ZwolinskiWhen U.S. President Donald Trump announced the imposition of his “Liberation Day” tariffs against most of America’s global trading partners in April 2025, he seemed to harken back to a centuries-old form of economic nationalism known as mercantilism, which sought prosperity through restrictive trade practices. Opponents of mercantilism from the eighteenth century onward, such as Adam Smith and John-Baptiste Say, became known as classical liberals. In the fullness of time, classical liberalism gave rise to the political philosophy we now know as libertarianism.When most people think of libertarianism, they typically have in mind a small number...2025-04-171h 05

DissenspflegeAlles Nazis? Was den Libertarismus und die neue Rechte (nicht) verbindetDie Entdeckungen der Woche 4
Gibt es nicht doch eine innere Verbindung zwischen der neuen Rechten und der libertären politischen Philosophie? Einer Philosophie also, die, grob gesprochen, die Freiheit des Einzelnen ins Zentrum ihrer Überlegungen stellt? Dissenspfleger Sebastian hat einen Text gefunden, der das vielleicht aufzeigt. Aber natürlich ist Dissenspfleger Andreas keineswegs zufrieden damit. Also beginnen die beiden eine ausgiebige Diskussion darüber. Wie stellt sich Sebastian diese Verbindung vor und warum ist Andreas unzufrieden? Kann er ein besseres Bild zeichnen oder behält Sebastian Recht? Hört am besten selber rein…

The Curious TaskMatt Zwolinski - Is There Such A Thing As A Free Market?Alex speaks with Matt Zwolinski about whether a truly "free market" exists, delving into concepts of freedom, coercion, and property rights. They examine critiques of markets from left-leaning thinkers, such as Robert Hale, as well as conservative perspectives, while discussing libertarian approaches to balancing coercion and freedom in market societies.

Free ThoughtsBeing Nice and Self-Reliant: A New England Libertarianism (with Dan Moller)It is often assumed that libertarianism depends on thinking that property rights are absolute, or on fetishizing individual liberty. But, Dan Moller argues that the foundations of libertarianism lie in widely shared, everyday moral beliefs, especially regarding restrictions on shifting our burdens onto others.What does it mean to shift burdens? Where do rights come from? Why do some people find redistribution of wealth appealing? Why is utilitarianism self-deception?

Should it be allowed at all? And in either case, how can the term “pollution” be defined?Show Notes and Further ReadingMatt Zwolinski, “Libertarianism and Pollution” (SSRN paper)Robert Noz...2015-03-3058 min
