Sheldon Richman has an interesting new piece up at the Foundation for Economic Education on “what nearly killed liberalism.” Over the years, “liberalism” and political libertarianism have been similarly defined or used interchangeably in some places, and many libertarians still style themselves “classical liberals.” History and etymology aside, is the label “liberal” worth reclaiming from the statist left, or does it make more sense for libertarians to cast that label aside and forge ahead under the newer name (which seems to have been, in turn, burgled from its previous users, communist anarchists, who took it from religious non-predestinationists)?
