Libertarians

A center-right ideology similar in many ways to Conservatism. They believe in a strong economy, using capitalism, that benefits all. Free markets vs government engineering to create new goods & services, with focus on attention to the human element. They believe in minimal state intervention in the free market and the private lives of citizens. In foreign policy they are non-interventionist. Market forces can figure out policy with energy, healthcare, education, etc without government intervention. They are not fans of a 'Central Bank' control of money.

The free-market businessman lived up to his convictions.

When David Koch died Friday at age 79, the headlines underscored that he used his great wealth to “reshape” American politics. Certainly he used his money to support causes he deemed worthy, and this included promoting liberty-loving think tanks and political groups. But the bulk of the $1.295 billion he gave away went to medicine and the arts. To describe his brother’s well-earned reputation for generosity, Charles Koch invokes Adam Smith : “to indulge our benevolent affections, constitutes the perfection of human nature.”
