libertarianism (philosophical)

Libertarianism is a philosophical belief that emphasizes individual freedom, personal responsibility, and minimal government intervention. It holds that people should be free to make their own choices about their lives, property, and pursuits as long as they do not harm others. Libertarians advocate for free markets, voluntary exchanges, and limited state power to maximize personal liberty. They believe that individuals are best suited to decide their own interests, and that government should play a minimal role in regulating behavior or redistributing resources, focusing mainly on protecting individual rights and maintaining social order.
