Steiner-Vallentyne School
"If one also grants the importance of equality of life prospects, then equal opportunity left-libertarianism is, I claim, the most plausible version of libertarianism."
The Steiner-Vallentyne School is a Left Libertarian ideological school of thought. It bases its support for economically left-wing ideals in
Classical Liberal,
Georgist, and
Physiocratic ideas on self-ownership, land appropriation, land ownership and the ownership of natural resources. It opposes the ownership of natural resources and land if such ownership acts as a detriment to others, and believes in state welfare programs and some form of wealth redistribution. Unlike many schools of left-libertarianism, the Steiner-Vallentyne school is not
socialist,
communist, or
anarchist, as it is more moderate in its economically left-wing views.
History
Steiner Vallentyne School was developed by the ideas of Peter Vallentyne and Hilel Steiner who used Analytic Philosophy in order to solve solve issues regarding the apparent extremism of Libertarian Socialism. Now despite being very similar to Libertarian Social Georgism
it is quite different in terms of in terms of origins as Steiner Vallentyne School was from mixing thoughts from Liberal ideologies and such. Also it is a separate ideology while Libertarian Social Georgism is a faction of Social Libertarianism.
