Libertarian right

The libertarian right defends free markets and a small state together with broad personal freedoms. Its guiding principle is that each person owns their life and what they produce: low taxes, light economic regulation and no bans on how to live, what to say or what to consume.

Its lean on the 12 dimensions

This is the region's typical tendency along the test's two axes, not a rule: each person combines different positions on each topic.

Privacy & State Surveillance Toward more freedom

Nuances

Currents differ on the size of the state they want: from a minimal one that only guarantees security and justice to none at all.

Common criticisms

From the left it is objected that markets without a safety net create inequality and leave uncovered those who cannot compete; from the order side, that community norms and cohesion weaken.
