Capitalism

Current that advocates free markets, deregulation, privatization, and fiscal discipline, reducing the state's economic role and trusting competition and monetary stability as engines of prosperity.

Synthesis that unites free markets and economic freedoms with the appreciation of tradition, order, and institutions, defending prudent change and social stability within the framework of liberal democracy.

Liberalism before mass democracy: it guarantees civil liberty, property, a free press and a lean state, but restricts the vote to educated property owners, fearing that unlimited popular sovereignty would destroy the very liberties it protects.

Political tradition that places individual freedom at the center, defending rights, tolerance, the rule of law, a market economy, and limits on power, with government subject to the consent of citizens.

A world divided into independent city-states and microstates that compete like a market, with free secession, the right of exit and political experimentation, from the medieval free cities to Yarvin's "patchwork" and seasteading.

Philosophy created by Ayn Rand that exalts reason, individualism, and rational egoism, defending laissez-faire capitalism and the pursuit of one's own happiness as the supreme moral purpose of each person's life.
