Libertarianism (redirected from Libertarian capitalism)

Libertarianism

The belief that government policies should limit themselves to preventing harm, rather than promoting goodness. Libertarianism holds that people have the right to do whatever they wish provided that they do not prevent others from doing whatever they want. For example, a libertarian would oppose slavery (because it violates the rights of the slave) but would also oppose minimum wages (because they violate the employer's right to pay whatever the employee will take).
