Free roads in Saskatchewan?
Not free as in beer (gratis), but free as in liberty (libre).
Check out this except from Walter Block’s latest book The Privatization of Roads & Highways.
I wonder what kind of response those tax revolting, the revolt certainly hasn’t got much news coverage - and no wonder!, those tax revolting Saskatchewan farmers have given this idea? If anyone knows more, I’d like to know more too.
Farmer or not, Prof. Block’s treatment of raods is refreshing, and encouraging in its deft challenge of common assumptions about roads and other “public” goods.
