Abstract
Libertarians are often classified by contemporary political philosophers as “right” or “standard” libertarians, on the one hand, and “left”-libertarians, on the other. Right-libertarians favor private property rights and market freedoms, and are opposed to any form of redistributive taxation. Left-libertarians similarly favor private property rights and market freedoms, but argue that these rights and freedoms are not incompatible with redistributive taxation.
I am grateful to Michael Howard, Hillel Steiner, and Karl Widerquist for helpful comments on an earlier draft of this chapter.
