== History == ''New Right'' appeared during the [[1964 United States presidential election|1964 presidential campaign]] of [[Barry Goldwater]] to designate the emergence, in response to American style [[liberalism]] (i.e., [[social liberalism]]), of a more combative, anti-egalitarian, and uninhibited right. Popularized by [[Richard Viguerie]], the term became later used to describe a broader global movement: those proponents of the [[night-watchman state]] but who also tended to be socially conservative, such as [[Ronald Reagan]], [[Margaret Thatcher]], [[Turgut Özal]] or [[Augusto Pinochet]]. However, as [[Jean-Yves Camus]] and [[Nicolas Lebourg]] point out, this leaning had only a few aspects in common with the "[[European New Right]]" that had been emerging since the 1960s, more inspired by the [[Conservative Revolution|conservative revolutionary]] [[Arthur Moeller van den Bruck|Moeller van den Bruck]] than by the [[Classical liberalism|classical liberal]] [[Adam Smith]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_j5YDgAAQBAJ|title=Far-Right Politics in Europe|last1=Camus|first1=Jean-Yves|last2=Lebourg|first2=Nicolas|date=2017-03-20|publisher=Harvard University Press|isbn=978-0674971530|pages=122|language=en}}</ref> [[Anarcho-capitalism]], a form of [[libertarianism]] that advocates for the replacement of all state institutions with private institutions,<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Geloso |first1=Vincent |last2=Leeson |first2=Peter T. |date=2020 |title=Are Anarcho-Capitalists Insane?
