politics: the gaps in libertarianism

I still believe the libertarian analysis of power as corrupting and the state as intrinsically threatening to the individual is accurate. But as I've aged, it's become clear to me that libertarianism hasn't had anything useful to say about racism and sexism, oligarchy and monopoly, pollution and global warming, or how commerce can damage culture. In fact, libertarians typically respond either that these problems don't exist or that they can be easily solved by just getting government out of the way.” –from here.
