Notes

I was actually thinking just this. Underrated case for god is that capitalism is morally correct and leads to the best outcomes. Quite the coincidence.

On the other hand, most people don’t find capitalism morally appealing. Most people in most places and at most times prefer tyranny and collectivism. So this makes the coincidence less surprising. But if you believe that this libertarian moral intuition is right, then you do have to explain it.

“Rothbardians believe in what seems to be a most incredible coincidence. They think, on the one hand, that our natural rights require anarcho-capitalism2, and maintain, on the other, that this set-up just so happens to be the ideal economic system for human flourishing. ”
