Freedom Is Not Compatible with Government’s Initiation of Force against Innocent People

A further examination of the underlying and I think legitimate debate and disagreement of a moral society. In this case, Higgs pushes for an extreme and consistent commitment to freedom, he argues:

Perhaps it is unseemly for someone such as I to make a recommendation to a Harvard professor, yet I cannot resist the urge to suggest that Glaeser read, say, Murray Rothbard’s Power and Market. Expositions of that sort would help him to gain a clearer vision of the distinction between individual freedom and state domination in economic affairs. Glaeser quotes Milton Friedman to good effect in his article, but Friedman’s writings ought to be the beginning

Higg's full analysis, as always, is provocative and worth a read and a consideration.
