100 Most Influential Libertarians: A Newsmax\/FreedomFest List<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

(NewsMax)<\/i> – Being libertarian is trendy right now, so much so that many actors, activists, politicians, media personalities, financial gurus, professors, scientists, and authors call themselves libertarians, even when they don\u2019t really qualify philosophically and fundamentally.<\/p>\n

To compile this list, our editors defined a libertarian as a consistent advocate of free-market capitalism, minimal government, and social tolerance (thus distinguishing libertarians from conservatives). Their motto might be \u201cKeep government out of the boardroom and the bedroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our first effort to rank the 100 most influential libertarians came from a recent survey of libertarians carried out by FreedomFest, \u201cthe world\u2019s largest gathering of free minds.\u201d<\/p>\n

FreedomFest is planning to take a photograph of the most influential libertarians on Friday, July 21, at the Paris Resort in Las Vegas, as part of its 10th anniversary celebration (July 19-22). FreedomFest is the annual gathering of libertarians from around the world. You won\u2019t want to miss this historic event.<\/p>\n
