Libertarianism: Left or Right?

""Is libertarianism of the Left or of the Right? We often avoid this question with a resounding ?Neither!? Given how these terms are used today, this response is understandable. But it is unsatisfying when viewed historically. In fact, libertarianism is planted squarely on the Left, as I will try to demonstrate here." Sheldon Richman asks you to check your notions of "Left" and "Right" at the door."
