The NeoLibertarian Tool Box
There are three tools that are particularly useful for NeoLibertarian thinking, plus I've tried to catalog some Useful Concepts. The three tools are:
- Analysis of Newspeak
- Systems Thinking
- Integral Thinking and Integral Politics.
NeoLibertarian Analysis of NewSpeak Terms
Politicians and the media have been twisting and redefining words to suit their own agendas since there have been politicians and media. At NeoLibertarian.com we look at how twisting words stunts meaningful debate and we work to point out some of the more egregious examples of this Newspeak. The term NewSpeak is, of course, used with a tip of the hat to George Orwell, who coined it in his classic novel 1984.
You can go to the NewSpeak page by clicking 'NewSpeak Analysis' in the left hand column or just by clicking here.
Useful Concepts for NeoLibertarians
NeoLibertarian analysis uses a wide variety of useful concepts from many different authors and schools of thought. These are not NeoLibertarian per se but some concepts seem to come up over and over so, rather than take the time and digital ink to redefine them ever time they come up, we've consolidated them into one section of useful concepts.
This section is more of a dictionary of concepts for reference that you refer to as necessary than it is something you would read stand alone though you are, of course, free to browse the section.
An example of a useful concept, and the first one defined, is Sorel's concept of the "useful myth."

Systems Thinking for NeoLibertarians
Systems Thinking helps us to understand how things work in the social systems and environments that we live in. The Systems Thinking ideas you will see on this site are based heavily on the work of management guru Peter Senge
We will add Systems Thinking examples in the future.
Integral Thinking and Integral Politics for NeoLibertarians
This is based heavily on the Spiral Dynamics Integral (SDI) ideas developed by Ken Wilber and Don Beck. SDI is a tool for moving to a higher level while incorporating, not replacing, the best from earlier times.
We will add Integral Thinking / Integral Politics examples in the future.
