The '''Nolan Chart''' is a political diagram popularized by main Libertarian founder[[David Nolan]]. He created it to illustrate the claim that libertarianism stands for both economic freedom and personal freedom (as he defined the terms), in graphic contrast to left-wing "[[liberalism]]", which, according to Nolan, advocates only personal freedom, and right-wing "[[conservatism]]", which, according to Nolan, advocates only economic freedom. | The '''Nolan Chart''' is a political diagram popularized by main Libertarian founder[[David Nolan]].

Many variations of the Nolan Chart have been developed, with some rotating the chart area 45 degrees in a rhomboid form to allow representation of left/liberal and right/conservative along a single axis in the manner they are typically charted. Many use different labels to describe the various types of government that would be placed in the quadrants. | Many variations of the Nolan Chart have been developed, with some rotating the chart area 45 degrees in a rhomboid form to allow representation of left/liberal and right/conservative along a single axis in the manner they are typically charted.
