This two theories has come from some extreme free marketers( negative freedom ) who do not approve of any kind of redistribution and from Isaiah Berlin and Amartya Sen (positive freedom) who take the stand that state or government should provide some basic requirments.

Hayek and Nozick are mainly the two thinkers of positive freedom theory. This theory is not on the efficiency grounds, but on the grounds of personal liberty. Hayek gave the theory that Personal liberty is inviolable, but redistribution will violate it. He described, different people have different values; they can never agree on what an equitable distribution is. So, any attempt to deviate from the market outcome through redistribution must conflict with someone’s interests, taking away his property against his will. This will violate his personal liberty. Nozick added the proviso that each person has an inviolable right to personal property so long as that property was acquired in a legitimate manner. For both Hayek and Nozick, liberty means negative freedom - the freedom not to be coerced.

The theory of positive freedom described as “the freedom to live a decent life - freedom from hunger, illiteracy, disease, etc.” If market outcome is very inequitable, then many people will not have the resources to acquire those positive freedoms. Govt may then be right to redistribute.
