A political philosophy that emphasizes individual liberty, limited government, private property rights, free markets, and voluntary association. Libertarians generally believe that government should play a minimal role in economic and personal affairs, intervening only to protect life, liberty, and property. While libertarians share some views with conservatives on limited government and some views with liberals on personal freedom, they maintain a distinct political philosophy centered on maximizing individual freedom.
