{"product_id":"governing-least-oxfpp-c-moller-9780190863241","title":"Governing Least Oxfpp C","description":"\"That government is best which governs least.\" -- Henry David Thoreau \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this major new defense of libertarianism, Dan Moller argues that critics and supporters alike have neglected the strongest arguments for the theory. It is often assumed that libertarianism depends on thinking that property rights are absolute, or on fetishizing individual liberty. Moller argues that, on the contrary, the foundations of libertarianism lie in widely shared, everyday moral beliefs -- particularly in restrictions on shifting our burdens onto others. The core of libertarianism, on this \"New England\" interpretation, is not an exaggerated sense of our rights against other people, but modesty about what we can demand from them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMoller then connects these philosophical arguments with related work in economics, history, and politics. The result is a wide-ranging discussion in the classical liberal tradition that defies narrow academic specialization. Among the questions Moller addresses are how to think about private property in a service economy, whether libertarians should support reparations for slavery, what the history of capitalism tells us about free markets, and what role political correctness plays in shaping policy debates. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Moller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190863242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190863241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.20d","brand":"Moller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48998551126271,"sku":"9780190863241","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/governing-least-oxfpp-c-moller-9780190863241","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
