GOVT 60.14 Libertarianism

Libertarianism endorses strong individual rights against coercion, and as a result, strictly limited government, free exchange in markets, and social toleration. For this class, libertarianism is not so much a political program as a unique approach to thinking about people's moral rights and the purpose and legitimacy of the state. We will engage both defenses and criticisms of libertarianism, as well as different variants of the philosophy, using tools from philosophy, economics, and political science.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
