ABSTRACT
In this paper, we argue that right-libertarianism implies astronomically large reparations for historical injustice, undermining the existing distribution of property into perpetuity. We defend and operationalize what we call the ‘quasi-trustee’ model of reparations under right-libertarianism. By our downwardly biased estimates, the injustice of American slavery alone calls the entire stock of global wealth into question.
