A Libertarian Theory of Contract Ep. 88

by | Aug 12, 2018

Audio Only Version

In this scholarly episode of the podcast, I explain how a post from The Principled Libertarian led me down a rabbithole where I discovered the libertarian “Title Theory” of contracts. I explain, then compare and contrast, the orthodox consideration-based contract theory with the libertarian title-based theory.
