When addressing specific public policy issues, John Locke Foundation experts base their arguments on the concepts of free markets, limited government, and individual liberty. Two JLF experts had recent opportunities to discuss those broad themes — outside the context of a particular policy dispute. The Freeman‘s July/August issue featured an article from JLF Vice President for Research and Resident Scholar Roy Cordato titled “Too Much Freedom.” It’s key theme: “For politicians, bureaucrats, and many activists, when the only tool they have is coercion, the cause of every problem looks like too much freedom.” Meanwhile, JLF Fiscal and Health Care Policy Analyst Joseph Coletti recently published an article in the Leland Tribune focusing on the likelihood that free markets would yield better outcomes than government coercion in the areas of health care and education. The Burlington Times-News also highlighted this week Coletti’s concerns about the increasing role of government coercion in addressing drought management.
