question 63

Essay

Libertarians often defend the notion that an unfettered free market is the best way to satisfy individual needs while also attaining the general good. Critics of libertarianism have argued, however, that free markets alone aren't sufficient to satisfy everyone's needs and don't produce the general good. Write an essay in which you argue for or against the idea of unfettered free markets, from the perspective of a libertarian, liberal, communitarian, or some other political ideology.   Issues you should address include distributive justice, inequality, and the rights of individuals.
