Thom points out that Libertarianism arose from an attempt by real estate firms to stop rent control and that it just doesn’t work in real life.
Aside:
In line with what Thom said. a previous Republican governor of my state leased local transit tunnels to a third party, and it has not worked out well.
He sacrificed the public good for private profit.
As far as I can tell, today’s Republican Party no longer believes in the concept of the public good.
What it believes in is private greed.

At the Tampa Bay Times, the past president, current president, and incoming president of the American Sociological Association take strong exception to Florida’s decision to remove sociology from the list of “core” courses at Florida universities.
I commend their article to your attention.
Afterthought:
I am a strong believer in the value of sociology as a field of study. I majored in history, as I’ve mentioned before in these electrons, but, had my college given minors, I had more than enough credits for a minor in sociology.
History teaches how we got where we are. Sociology teaches us to understand how where we are functions, plus it sheds light on the workings of the where-we-came-froms.
But, of course, racists and bigots (and fascists and wannabe dictators) don’t want you to understand, or you’ll see through their game.
