"Back in 2011, a group of academic philosophers started a blog called “Bleeding Heart Libertarians.” The idea behind that blog was simple, but also somewhat vague in terms of its specifics: that you could be a libertarian who favored free markets and limited governments, and still care about the kind of things people on the left refer to as “social justice” – relieving poverty, racial and sexual equality, immigrant rights, LBGTQ rights, and so on. Hence, the slogan of the blog, “free markets and social justice.”"

"The vagueness of the guiding idea was in some ways intended, and in other ways not. Part of the explanation is that we launched the blog as a way of working out the details of an idea that we were all interested in and attracted to, but hadn’t entirely figured out yet. But a big part of what the vagueness did was allow philosophers– and, later, a number of colleagues from other disciplines– with some pretty radically different normative, empirical, and methodological commitments to rally together under a common banner. Thus, we had people like me, a pluralist classical liberal who supports a basic income guarantee, and people like Roderick Long, an Aristotelean left-wing anarchist who favors “markets, not capitalism.” And everything in between."

"Reconciling free markets and social justice seemed like an especially worthwhile project to undertake in 2011. Academic political philosophy was largely dominated by followers of John Rawls, for whom a commitment to social justice (of a particular sort) was paramount. And libertarianism remained a fringe and unfamiliar view within the academy – for most academic philosophers, it was a view that was born and died in 1974 with the publication of Robert Nozick’s Anarchy, State, and Utopia. But a critical mass of scholars were working out new ways of thinking about libertarian ideas; and many of us who were excited by the work of scholars like David Schmidtz, Gerald Gaus, and John Tomasi thought that there was a different style of libertarian thought beginning to crystallize. And we didn’t only want to publicize that; we wanted to encourage it, to help build and develop the research program associated with it."

"Moreover, if we sought to open mainstream Rawlsian political philosophy and theory to the influence of market-friendly classical liberalism, we also wanted to wanted to steer classical liberal scholarship toward taking egalitarian liberal ideas much more seriously than it often had."
