Goldberg: Libertarianism the Only New Political Idea for Years

Another response to Lind

|

"Why are there no libertarian countries?"

In a much-discussed essay for Salon, Michael Lind asks: "If libertarians are correct in claiming that they understand how best to organize a modern society, how is it that not a single country in the world in the early twenty-first century is organized along libertarian lines?"

Such is the philosophical poverty of liberalism today that this stands as a profound question.
