Libertarianism: A Failure, Whether From The Left Or The Right

"Criticism of libertarianism includes ethical, economic, environmental, and pragmatic concerns and is often focused on right-libertarianism.[1] Critics have argued that laissez-faire capitalism does not necessarily produce the best or most efficient outcome,[2] and that libertarianism's philosophy of individualism and policies of deregulation fails to prevent the abuse of natural resources.[3] Criticism of left-libertarianism is instead mainly related to anarchism and includes allegations of utopianism,[4] tacit authoritarianism[5][6], and vandalism towards feats of civilization.[7] Left and right-libertarians also engage in criticism of each other."
