Steiner-Vallentyne School
"If one also grants the importance of equality of life prospects, then equal opportunity left-libertarianism is, I claim, the most plausible version of libertarianism."
The Steiner-Vallentyne School is a Left Libertarian ideological school of thought. It bases its support for economically left-wing ideals in
Classical Liberal,
Georgist, and
Physiocratic ideas on self-ownership, land appropriation, land ownership and the ownership of natural resources. It opposes the ownership of natural resources and land if such ownership acts as a detriment to others, and believes in state welfare programs and some form of wealth redistribution. Unlike many schools of left-libertarianism, the Steiner-Vallentyne school is not
socialist,
communist, or
anarchist, as it is more moderate in its economically left-wing views.
