Libertarian Conservatism
Libertarian conservatism, also referred to as conservative libertarianism and, more rarely, ''conservatarianism'', is a political and social philosophy that combines conservatism and libertarianism, representing the libertarian wing of conservatism and vice versa.

Primarily an American ideology, libertarian conservatism prioritizes liberty, promoting free expression, freedom of choice and free-market capitalism to achieve conservative ends while rejecting liberal social engineering.Piper, J.
