Publication IconDirect and Overall Liberty: Areas and Extent of Disagreementpdf

Daniel Klein, Michael J. Clark
This paper explores possible disagreement between direct and overall liberty. Direct liberty corresponds to the inherent aspects of a policy reform (and its concomitant enforcement), while overall liberty subsumes also its wider and long-run aspects.  The article fortifies the liberty principle by arguing that the tension between direct and overall liberty is not so great as to undo its coherence and focalness.
