§ 01
The Idea
What Paleo-Libertarian actually means.
Paleo-Libertarianism blends libertarian economics with cultural conservatism, advocating for minimal government while valuing traditional social structures.
Murray Rothbard and Lew Rockwell were key figures in Paleo-Libertarianism, promoting near-total economic freedom while emphasizing family and community traditions. Rothbard's anarcho-capitalism called for privatized security and legal systems, while Rockwell integrated cultural conservatism into libertarian principles.
