Conor Friedersdorf

The Atlantic writer has articulated thoughtful libertarian perspectives on civil liberties and the dangers of authoritarianism. Friedersdorf’s nuanced approach to libertarianism, which acknowledges the complexity of political issues while maintaining core principles, represents a more intellectual strand of libertarian thought. His critiques of both conservative and progressive excesses from a libertarian perspective have made him an important voice in mainstream media for libertarian ideas.
