Source: Justice: A Journey in Moral Reasoning
National K -12 Subject:
In this third set of video lectures from Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?, Harvard University professor Michael Sandel introduces the theories of Robert Nozick, a Libertarian philosopher who argues that individuals have the fundamental right to choose how they want to live their own lives, and that government should have minimal interference. In the first lecture, he uses Bill Gates and Michael Jordan as examples to explain Nozick's theory that redistributive taxation is a form of forced labor. In the second lecture, he continues the discussion of redistributive taxation and looks at arguments in its favor. Students are then asked to defend objections against Libertarianism.
