7 principes libertariens - Reed

Seven principles
Reed is well known for his "Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy". He has stated that he believes these principles are the "pillars of a free economy", and believes their ability to guide society has been made manifest over the course of recorded history.[20]
• 1) Free people are not equal, and equal people are not free.
• 2) What belongs to you, you tend to take care of; what belongs to no one or everyone tends to fall into disrepair.
• 3) Sound policy requires that we consider long-run effects and all people, not simply short-run effects and a few people.
• 4) If you encourage something, you get more of it; if you discourage something, you get less of it.
• 5) Nobody spends somebody else's money as carefully as he spends his own.
• 6) Government has nothing to give anybody except what it first takes from somebody, and a government that's big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you've got.
• 7) Liberty makes all the difference in the world.
