Vivek Ramaswamy, a former Republican presidential hopeful, debuted his concept of “national libertarianism” at the fourth National Conservative Conference (NatCon 4) in Washington, D.C. on July 9, 2024. In his speech, Ramaswamy emphasized the importance of individual freedom and limited government, while also advocating for a more protectionist approach to trade and immigration.
Ramaswamy’s “national libertarianism” is distinct from traditional libertarianism, which often emphasizes free trade and open borders. Instead, Ramaswamy argues that the government should prioritize the interests of American workers and manufacturers, while still protecting individual rights and freedoms.
In his speech, Ramaswamy stated that he does not want to replace a left-wing nanny state with a right-wing nanny state, and instead believes that the government should focus on promoting individual freedom and limited government intervention in the economy. He also emphasized the importance of reshaping and redirecting the regulatory state to achieve objectives that advance the interests of American workers and manufacturers.
Ramaswamy’s concept of “national libertarianism” has generated significant interest and debate among conservatives and libertarians, with some praising his willingness to challenge traditional libertarian orthodoxy and others criticizing his protectionist views. 17GEN4.com
