Steve Bannon’s political philosophy needs to be understood because he’s becoming a political force to be reckoned with, what with the win of Roy Moore in Alabama. He’s a conservative, not a classical liberal and certainly not a libertarian. One might start by reading this, this, this and this.
To understand how his ideas line up compared to libertarian ideas, one may consider various questions and then compare the different answers that he gives as opposed to what libertarians give.
What should be done to restore the health of the American economy?
Where does control over property at the personal level come from?
What role do Judeo-Christian values play in capitalism?
What factors underlie long-term business investment?
What factors underlie civil society?
What are the causes of socialism and fascism in American government?
Is Henry Clay’s American System a sound basis for rebuilding America’s economy?
