You Are a Conservative!

You’re not a libertarian; you’re a conservative! American conservatives tend to be friendly to economic freedom but don’t extend the presumption of freedom to the personal lives of others. While a libertarian may have “conservative values,” what differentiates libertarians from conservatives is that libertarians don’t believe in using force on other people, but rely on persuasion and moral example instead.

Of course, very few people will have “perfect scores” in any one direction. Check out the new book The Libertarian Mind: A Manifesto for Freedom, and you might find you’re actually a lot more libertarian than you think!

We have a limited number of copies of The Libertarian Mind to give away. Every day — until the supply is depleted — we will be mailing a free copy to a lucky recipient, randomly drawn from those who complete this form.
