CONT

Le libertarianisme est en effet similaire au libéralisme, une philosophie élaborée dès les XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles par des penseurs comme John Locke et Adam Smith pour défendre les droits individuels contre les pouvoirs abusifs des souverains, et qui a connu son heure de gloire au XIXe siècle. Les libertariens sont les héritiers des libéraux classiques.
