About this episode
The episode discusses the fallacies of luck egalitarianism and its implications on property and wealth legitimacy.
Luck egalitarians fallaciously declare property and wealth to be illegitimate or at least suspect due to a mysterious, unquantifiable force called luck. Their arguments fail even if what they claim about luck is true.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/luck-fallacy-and-luck-egalitarianism
