Learning about Libertarism, this came to my mind
Libertarianism emphasizes individual freedom and minimal government intervention, but this raises critical questions about its ability to address long-term collective problems like climate change. Since environmental protection often requires coordinated action, the free rider problem becomes a significant obstacle: individuals or companies may benefit from a cleaner environment without contributing to its preservation, leading to underinvestment in sustainable solutions. Without regulatory mechanisms or collective enforcement, what incentives exist to prevent environmental degradation? Furthermore, how can purely market-driven approaches ensure long-term sustainability when short-term profits often conflict with ecological responsibility? Wouldn’t addressing such global challenges require at least some degree of collective governance?
