Permissionless Liberty

The Ethics of Voting


Listen Later

In this conversation, Adam Knott and Daniel Sanchez explore the philosophical and ethical implications of voting from a libertarian perspective. They discuss the recent political landscape, particularly the influence of the Mises Caucus and the implications of voting for candidates like Trump and Harris. The conversation delves into the moral responsibilities associated with voting, the concept of collective action, and the role of government in society. Ultimately, they argue that voting may contribute to coercion and that abstaining from voting could be a more ethical choice for libertarians.
