Schools of Thought in Classical Liberalism Part 5: Natural Rights

In part 5 of his series, Dr. Nigel Ashford explores philosophers Ayn Rand and Robert Nozick,  both of whom believed that that government often violates our natural rights.

What is the proper role of government? Rand and Nozick argued for a minimal state, that’s sole purpose is to protect our natural rights.

Which school of thought do you belong to? Check out our playlist for the rest of the series: http://www.learnliberty.org/content/schools-thought-classical-liberalism
