My best crack at a libertarian response is that enough voluntary agreements might solve the problem better than a government solution?

Here was a previous topic asking about the radio spectrum:

But there is an argument that if antibiotics are abused and/or used incorrectly, they will grow the populations of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria to the detriment of us all.

What is a monopoly going to do about it?

Would/Could these new strains come about even with a monopoly in place?

Is it worth all of the imposed costs? How do you know? Is there a parallel universe in which this can be tested?

How should libertarians handle these issues? Don’t get me wrong, I’m VERY sympathetic to the libertarian ideals. Just wondering with how best to deal with some of the apparently troublesome cases.

I usually look upon the wise words of Walter “Moderate” Block: “If it moves, privatize it. If it doesn’t move, privatize it. Since ultimately everything either moves or it doesn’t, privatize everything.”
