A LIBERTARIAN VIEW ON THE WELFARE STATE
A LIBERTARIAN VIEW ON THE WELFARE STATE

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to offer an analysis of the welfare state, using libertarian arguments, which argue that this type of state is immoral and its policies are not justified, even if its actions appear to be noble. In this essay I draw on the theories of Murray Rothbard and the platform of the libertarian party in the USA, but I also draw on other authors such as Robert Nozick and on historical and statistical data relating to the neoconservative policies of administrations such as Reagan in the USA. The paper also draws on other secondary sources analyzing libertarianism.
