Parenting Failure and Government Failure STEVE HORWITZ
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 10
If one believes that the state’s job is to prevent harm to third parties, and that’s a key part of Andrew’s argument, it is not a priori out of bounds to ask what the state could do to protect children from harm by parents and others.
Nota - Posizione 11
FUNZIONE DI STATO
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 14
the argument Andrew makes is a perfect example of what can happen when philosophers (and others) make arguments about what government should do in the absence of serious consideration of the way in which the state actually works.

A PRIORI
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 17
“if the state worked just the way we philosophers say it should…”
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 20
Just as economists, including strongly free market ones like me, can point to all kinds of ways in which markets “fail” in the sense of not producing optimal outcomes, so can we point to all kinds of ways that parents do, or might, fail at raising their children
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 23
government failure is just as real as market failure and parenting failure.

TRE FALLIMENTI
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 27
Suppose that alternative is foster care. There is enough empirical evidence on the problems with foster care, especially short-term placements where the incentive to really behave as a steward for the child is weaker, to be skeptical that it would be an improvement.

Andrew says children of parents who fail the license test should be “put up for adoption by someone licensed.” Again, this sounds good as stated, but the reality of the process is that this doesn’t happen immediately (there are no spot markets in parental rights). Is the child really better off in the state’s hands in the meantime? In general, those closest to the family are in the best position to understand the problems at hand, imagine an effective solution, as well as having an incentive to act on that knowledge.

I would argue that in the case of parenting licenses, the imperfections of politics raise a much greater danger than do the imperfections of parenting,

The Organic Body Politics and Parental Licensure BY ADAM GURRI
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 72
storied divide between “first principles” libertarians, who usually subscribe to some theory of natural rights, and consequentialist libertarians, who usually situate themselves somewhere in the family of utilitarian theories. Rarely discussed is a third, more Hayekian approach,

TRE APPROCCI
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 85
Because children don’t have the power to pick who their parents are, and there’s no similar competitive mechanism to make sure they’re more likely to end up with good parents, he argues that parenting should be licensed for the sake of children’s safety.

ARGOMENTO PATENTE
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 96
The family is the oldest, most durable institution that humanity has.

FAMIGLIA. ISTITUTO VENERABILI
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 100
Responding to a thick and rich history with something as simple as the harm principle is to do injustice to that history.

NON SEMPLIFICHIAMO!
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 102
To think that the people who inherit that system today can be directed by the motivations of one man, a philosopher-designer, is to become Adam Smith’s “man of system”

In particular, Cohen’s plan requires an army of evaluators who will behave in precisely the way he wishes them to.

Cohen has to say on that question: ................I’m inclined to think there are two tests that are involved. First, a means test—that is, no one that cannot afford to raise a child should have a child.

MEAN TEST

The second, and more important, test would be a psychological exam that indicates whether the individual (a) understands how to parent and (b) can handle the stress a child brings.

What I’m suggesting here is that the only way to affect change of human systems is as a participant, not an architect.
