(Economist) Bryan Caplan is currently working on a book, and his research so far seems to agree with your points: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAaCpyuwRIw


Caplan is very right wing ("the homeless still smile!"). The talk was still okish, but the points of view come from one side and could use some balance.

Blaming poverty on "impulsive sex" and leaving blameless the policies of limiting birth control and freedom of choice is a pretty myopic point of view.


Caplan is a libertarian.

You'll never see anything like his pro open borders book from the right wing:

A fair amount of libertarians are right wing. This is true even if one supports something or another that happens to not be stereotypically right wing.


Broadly, libertarians agree with the right on economics and the left on social issues.
