The Mindcrime Liberty Show with Dobson and Patton
News:Politics
The Mindcrime Liberty Show discusses what an ideal, or libertarian, society ought to do with those of low abilities? One can dispute whether there would be as many in an ideal society with a freed market and stateless institutions; however, it seems that there would be a class of persons who aren’t competitive. Christians of the left and the right often times criticize libertarians for not caring about the poor namely not supporting welfare and various social programs. Libertarians would be quick to counter that many of the so-called programs are not effective and are probably harmful such as the mass schooling system as described by thinkers like Ivan Illich and Brian Caplan. Welfare itself is a system of warehousing the poor as Michel Foucault argues and destroys mutual aid networks by replacing it with State bureaucracy. What are some solutions for this problem and why would a libertarian society have less of them?
