SERNA, Pedro Pablo. Garantías económicas y sociales en Locke. Eidos [online]. 2015, n.22, pp.169-194. ISSN 1692-8857.  https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.22.4681.

In some libertarian's opinion, social rights are inexistent as 'rights'. In this paper, I will first identify some of the main libertarian's approaches to then show Locke's positions. This will allow tracing the conditions for the potential foundations of the economic and social rights back to the beginnings of the liberal thought. I argue that there is a contradiction between Locke's theoretical principles and the libertarian's radical approaches. Finally, I show how the need for an economic redistribution looking toward a greater political equality can be supported based on Locke.
