In his essay " From Liberty to Welfare ", philosopher James P. Sterba argues that a morally consistent application of libertarian premises, including that of negative liberty, requires that a libertarian must endorse “ the equality in the distribution of goods and resources required by a socialist state .” Sterba presents the example of a typical conflict situation between the rich and poor “ in order to see why libertarians are mistaken about what their ideal requires .” He argues that such a situation is correctly seen as a conflict of negative liberties: the right of the rich not to be interfered with in the satisfaction of their luxury needs is morally trumped by the right of the poor “ not to be interfered with in taking from the surplus possessions of the rich what is necessary to satisfy their basic needs .”
