6. What is a libertarian?
Some say libertarians are "plotting to take over the world and leave you alone."
David Boaz of the Cato Institute has described libertarianism this way: "Don't hit other people. Don't take their stuff. Keep your promises."
In this 20-minute video, Mr. Boaz speaks on "Introduction to Libertarian Thought."
"The Libertarian Mind" is the subject of this 13.5-minute video from 2015 featuring several Cato scholars.
Take this short (10 question) online quiz from the Advocates for Self-Government to see if you might have libertarian leanings: “The World’s Smallest Political Quiz.”
