Appreciate the insights and resources provided.
So let me put like this: our civilized society that we think respects (or at least tries to) our fundamentals rights is basically based on the fact that the problems are just exported to someone else (or a different process) in which the respect of those fundamentals is not really enforced. It's like we are happy with our garbage being collected and managed by State simply because we are in the country that exports it to other countries, not the one that is being paid to throw it in its lands and have its people live on top of it?
Problems exported to somebody else... How is that different on either side?
A market outsources that rationing to money-mediated prices and property rights, a government upholding "fundamental" rights do so via violence and taxation
How much time do you have?
Level 1: shouldn't, don't care, don't give a shit.
Level 2: compared to what?
Nirvana fallacy kills everything; not even ideal, romanticized, socialist-utopia Nordics do a particularly good job at fixing what you call "fundamental rights" (which aren't fundamental... they can't be if by providing them you're infringing on others' fundamental rights).
Level 3: plenty of resources out there to imagine, theorizing about the mechanics of a free society: Choice by Bob Murphy does a good job, Machinery of Freedom. Lectures on these topics.
The tldr is that your "fundamental rights" are, like any other market good, better served by prices and property rights and competition than taxation, regulation, and central planning.The tldr is that your "fundamental rights" are, like any other market good, better served by prices and property rights and competition than taxation, regulation, and central planning.
Level 4: my best recommendation for you is _Guido Hülsmann's _Abundance, Generosity, and the State, a 400-page serious inquiry into empathy and how we can live together #860406. I'm sure there's a 1-hour lecture somewhere, e.g., at Mises U
