''Paleoliberalism'' is a seldom used term for extreme liberalism. A ''paleoliberal'' is "Extremely or stubbornly liberal in political matters."〔The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition〕 Because ''liberalism'' itself has several different meanings, paleoliberalism carries some ambiguity. A paleoliberal believes in moderate government intervention on personal matters and economic matters. They tend to be opposed to war, police powers and victimless crimes. They believe in a social safety net, but to a lesser extent than more left-wing politics. They generally believe in protecting personal liberty, both through individualism and state protection. They support self-ownership and privacy. Some paleoliberals may lean towards embracing capitalism as an economic system. The term is often used to refer to an extreme or "unreconstructed" exponent of modern American liberalism. For example, Brian Doherty writing in ''Reason'' in 1997 used the term to refer to Richard Gephardt in his opposition to Clinton's free trade policies.〔Doherty, Brian (1997-10-01) (Swap Meat ), ''Reason''〕 It can also be used to describe liberals who are more socialist in political outlook, and liberals who are opposed to neoliberalism. Paleoliberals and neoliberals are opposed to each other on many economic, social and political issues. According to Michael Lind, the terms applies to foreign policy hawks who later became Neoconservatives. Lind argues that in the late 1960s and early 1970s many anti-Soviet liberals and social democrats, such as Henry ("Scoop") Jackson, thought of themselves as "paleoliberals." The term was used by Alexander Rüstow, to describe European ''laissez-faire'' liberals like Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek. == See also == *Classical liberalism *Neoliberalism *Paleolibertarianism *Paleoconservatism 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paleoliberalism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
