Author and professor Lanny Ebenstein distinguishes contemporary libertarianism from classic liberalism and discusses the positions of economists Hayek and Friedman.
Libertarian political ideology places a strong emphasis on individual freedom, a very limited role for government, and non-interventionist foreign policy. The Libertarian Party in the United States was founded in 1971. Approximately 150 local elected officials nationwide are members of the Libertarian party and some elected officials from major parties also espouse libertarian ideals.
