In short, everyone should be guarenteed enough substance for a minimally flourishing life.

"Minimal flourishing life" seems to be an oxymoron. Where do you draw the line? And, maybe more important, who draws the line?


Even F.A. Hayek, in The Road to Surfdom, comments that our society should be able to meet that basic needs of people. This surprised me and prompted me to consider what level might represent those basic needs, and whether or not society is reasonably able to provide that. I'm interested in Libertarians feelings about Hayek in that instance. (If I can find a quote I will, but I'm not exactly sure where it was at the moment.)
