If one values freedom, what sort of regime of property should one favor: libertarianism, socialism, or something else again? Debate on this topic has been hampered by a failure to distinguish freedom and liberty, which are both of great value, but can come into conflict. Furthermore there are many similar concepts-distinct from both liberty and freedom, yet each representing something we rightly value-which may also come into conflict with each other and with freedom and liberty Consequently the question posed above has no easy answer.
