Who is not a supporter of Libertarianism?
ARobert Nozick
BMilton Friedman
CRobert Dahl ✓ Correct
DFA Hayek
Answer: C
Explanation
★The one who is not a supporter of libertarianism is Robert Dahl.
★Dahl is the theorist of pluralism and polyarchy, concerned with how power is dispersed among many groups in a democracy, not with libertarian liberty.
★Libertarianism, by contrast, makes individual liberty its central value and calls for maximum autonomy and minimal government.
★Its leading proponents are Robert Nozick, Milton Friedman and F.A. Hayek, all of whom defend the free market and a limited state.
★Dahl's pluralist democratic theory sits in a quite different tradition.
★So Robert Dahl is the correct answer.
