Scott Alexander's comprehensive steelman of anti-libertarian arguments — a systematic response to the strongest objections to libertarian political philosophy.
Canonical steelman of the anti-libertarian position: rather than attacking weak libertarian arguments, Alexander constructs the most serious objections — market failures, coordination problems, historical failures of unregulated markets, public goods — and presents them as charitably as possible. Part of SSC's broader project of raising the epistemic standards of political debate. Became a standard reference in rationalist community debates on political economy.
