In the event you don’t have already got David Friedman’s “Concepts” in your RSS feed, I like to recommend it. He posts occasionally, however the likelihood that I study one thing from every publish exceeds 0.9.
One excellent working example is his most up-to-date publish, “Particular Pleading and Methods to Acknowledge It.” He discusses 3 examples. First is an argument from Lockean rules for revenue and/or wealth redistribution. He reveals that if we take the argument critically, we don’t get the place those that use the precept wish to get to. On this he cites thinker Matt Zwolinski’s argument for welfare.
The second is an argument for reparations for slavery. He reveals that if we take that argument critically, we must always take wealth from poor Africans and provides it to wealthy Individuals. On this he concludes, “Not the conclusion that folks making the argument needed.”
The third is on Wal-Mart and concrete sprawl.
All are value studying and pondering.
