Libertarian Monarchism

Libertarian Monarchism (LibMon) is an economically right, civically libertarian, culturally variable, but generally right-wing and Monarchist ideology which believes that a libertarian society should be ruled over by a  Constitutional Monarchy.

History
The history of Libertarian Monarchism is relatively short, as it emerged in the late 20th century as a response to the perceived failures of both liberal democracy and  socialism. However, the roots of this ideology can be traced back to classical liberal and  libertarian thinkers such as John Locke,  Friedrich Hayek, and  Murray Rothbard, who emphasized the importance of individual liberty and limited government.

The concept was first handled by Hans-Hermann Hoppe in his book "Democracy: The God That Failed" in 2001. Hoppe argued that a monarchy, in which the monarch has limited powers and the government is strictly limited, is better at protecting individual liberty and limiting government power than a democracy.

Since then, several thinkers have contributed to the development of Libertarian Monarchism as an ideology. One of the most notable is Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein, who wrote a book titled "The State in the Third Millennium" in which he advocated for a specific type of monarchy in which the monarch serves as a neutral arbiter of disputes between different groups in society.
