A funny thing happened on the road to serfdom: while setting out to uncharitably critique libertarians, constitutional law professor Andrew Koppelman ended up being persuaded by F.A. Hayek on the importance of free markets. Still, he has some blistering critiques for other libertarian thinkers, and I've invited him on to discuss his new book "Burning Down the House: How Libertarian Philosophy Was Corrupted by Delusion and Greed" in an effort to find points of agreement and disagreement.
It’s really easy to defend classic libertarians. The state will always want more control. Collectively, people make better choices for themselves and their communities. We stifle the growth of human knowledge by constraining individuality.
