Robert Nozick.
Popeye of course...
Robert Nozick.
I haven't studied him or heard of him, what made him stand out for you, was there a particular paper book or lecture on him or from him that left an impression?
I'd like to look it up and read it.

Anarchy, State, and Utopia by Robert Nozick | Questia, Your Online Research Library
I also read about 1/3 of "Invariances"...It made me look up and learn so much new stuff I sort of lost track of where the book goes...I'll pick it up again one day.
The Mises Review: Invariances: The Structure of the Objective World by Robert Nozick
Nozicks remarks on libertarianism, though brief, are full of interest. He distinguishes several layers of ethics: "The first layer is the ethics of respect, which corresponds to an (extended) ethics mandating cooperation to mutual benefit. Here there are rules and principles mandating respecting another (adult) persons life and autonomy, forbidding murder and enslavement, restricting interference with a persons domain of choice, and issuing in a set of (what have been termed negative) rights" (p. 280, emphasis removed). Other layers, such as the ethics of caring, go beyond the duty of noninterference with others and call for positive aid to them.
Problem being that these "cooperative" societies have almost always degenerated into abject tyranny....Besides that, the word "cooperation" implies consent, not compulsion.I always have an impression that libertarians are out for themselves in a need for self-sufficiency and liberty I sometimes think they do not care for others who have a viewpoint of wanting a more cooperative society and less individualistic.

Did you miss the aftermath of the 2004 earthquake/tsunami, where the charity of the American people acted more quickly and with far more money and effectiveness than did our own federal gubmint?
How about the aftermath of Katrina, when Home Depot and Wal Mart got more needed supplies to people far more quickly and efficiently than FEMA could ever hope to do on their best day?
You leave people to be free and they'll know who is truly in need and be more than willing to help.
Fallacious affirmation of the consequent argument...People tired and did help one another, and FDR's programs were an unqualified disaster, let alone completely unconstitutional.Did you miss the aftermath of the 2004 earthquake/tsunami, where the charity of the American people acted more quickly and with far more money and effectiveness than did our own federal gubmint?

That must not be entirely true, otherwise during the depression people would have helped each other and FDR would not have responded to a need by creating social programs.

Great Myths of the Great Depression [Mackinac Center]
Read it at your own leisure.
A lot of "facts" about the Great Depression are myths and outright political propaganda.
Popeye of course...
