This chapter reaffirms the need to give equity a role in a market economy. That role can still retain the main and important role that a free market plays in allocating resources and in generating much of the income. But much of that role can be maintained while reducing the inequity that free markets might tend to generate. Some countries have been able to achieve this goal by pursuing some policies that reduce income differences at a minimum cost in restricting economic freedom. Libertarians have continued to call for what they call libertarian policies but have not specified what those policies are and what part of the government role should not be promoted.
