Libertarianism.org offers a series of videos entitled, The Libertarian View: Why are you a libertarian?
In the recording embedded below, John Tomasi of Brown answers why he’s a libertarian (and so holds a view that millions of other Americans hold). Tomasi is the author of the recent Free Market Fairness (2012).
He ends his remarks by saying that libertarians should talk about poverty – and right Tomasi is. We can and should consider poverty, and advocate effective, liberty-oriented solutions to that dificult but remediable condition. Others may shun the topic, but we need not adopt their approach — we should wade into this discussion, swimming to the farthest points.
