While it does owe its beginning to conservatism, it has clearly evolved into its own philosophy, taking one broad conern and applying to each unique issue.
Interesting response. Are you refering to the final wave of the pro-business ideology in the thirties being reinvented in the late 60s/early 70s libertarianism?
Essentially.
Also, I find it interesting how it sort of lost its pro-business roots. Its still pro-business, but its because theyre against government intervention in economy. What Im saying is they went from fighting for a cause, to fighting its enemy.
