What governments are the best at promoting individual liberty?
user
There are many different types of individuals, and their liberties often aren't compatible. The liberty of corporations and billionaires to create monopolies and gouge prices can infringe on the liberty of the poor to access important services. In Norway the people have a right to a state-sponsored education, healthcare plan and unemployment benefits. This grants individuals from all economic backgrounds greater liberty to choose how to live their lives. On the flip side, Norwegians can only chose to study at a public high-school or a private one run for religious reasons. The USA has lots of providers for important services and also unbridled availability of firearms, but abortions are highly regulated and illegal in some states. In short, individual liberty is a hard to define concept and different perspectives on what liberties and rights people deserve to have will determine the government and set of policies one will prefer. Generally speaking, unregulated economies favour those with economic means to take advantage of the financial liberty, while a regulated marked and public services grant the majority of citizens the freedom to live dignified lives.
