| | LP News August 1999 - David Nolan: A leading 20th Century thinker? |
 | | David Nolan, the man who founded the Libertarian Party, has been named one of the "2,000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 20th Century" by a British publishing company. |
 | | Although the IBC did not explain their selection criteria to Nolan, he speculated his inclusion was due to the so-called Nolan Chart, which pioneered the measurement of political beliefs on a four-way Liberal/Conservative/Libertarian/Authoritarian scale, rather than the old-fashioned Left-Right spectrum. |
 | | Nolan, who conducted the first meeting of what would become the Libertarian Party in his living room in Colorado in 1971, has been a newspaper editor, advertising and marketing executive, Interim LP Chair, creator of a World Wide Web site, and talk radio host. |
