Nolan Chart

That a picture in the article is useful, you can, for example, recognize the fact that the article text refers thereto.

The Nolan Chart (also Nolan Chart) is a political diagram was developed by the U.S. politician of the Libertarian Party, David Nolan. It is based on the premise that individual freedom exists both in the economic as well as non -economic ( " social " ) area.

Description

The Nolan Chart is not only between a political left, to maximize the social freedom and that seeks to subordinate the economic freedom and political rights, which is commonly regarded as conservative and / or reactionary distinguished. In addition to this classification occurs a second axis at the endpoints on the one hand and on the other a populist libertarian ideologies are compared with each other. ( See Figure The Nolan Chart )

In the extended Nolan chart ( see Figure David Nolan of enlargement of the Nolan Chart), the center is depicted as another area.

Reception

The Nolan Chart is problematic because personal and economic freedom are usually indistinguishable, and because the libertarian definition of freedom is not the much more common liberal definition of freedom. The graph has an obvious libertarian bias.
