  David Nolan (Libertarian Party) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He subsequently served the party in a number of roles including National Chair, editor of the party newsletter, chairman of the By-laws Committee, chairman of the Judicial Committee, and Chairman of the Platform Committee.
Nolan was born in Washington, D.C. and spent his earliest years growing up in Maryland.
Nolan is also known as the inventor of the Nolan chart which purports to render obsolete the simple left vs. right political taxonomy by separating the issues of economic freedom and social freedom.

 Nolan Chart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The detractors of the Nolan Chart are most often people who accuse people with libertarian beliefs of using it to further their agenda and gain converts to their party and political movement.
A similar criticism of the chart is that the terms "authoritarianism" and "liberalism", as used to describe opposing stances on the y-axis of "personal freedom", do not easily apply to some prominent contemporary social issues (although these terms were not originally used by Nolan, they have become popular with followers of his chart system).
A few of the people who oppose the use of the Nolan Chart are strong libertarians, Objectivists or other advocates of laissez-faire capitalism who believe that the political spectrum need be portrayed only through one dimension, but not the traditional Left/Right one.

 Nolan Chart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nolan Chart places David Nolan's own ideology, libertarianism, at the top right, corresponding with high freedom in both economic and social matters.
The Nolan Chart has also been rotated and visually represented in a few other ways, such as having conservatism and populism at the top and libertarianism and liberalism at the bottom.
Critics of this diagram (and this kind of chart in general) claim that it represents at best a pseudoscientific illustration of a political point of view.

 LP News August 1999 - David Nolan: A leading 20th Century thinker?
In May, Nolan was notified by the Cambridgeshire, England-based International Biographical Centre (IBC) that he would be included in their upcoming reference work which features the greatest thinkers of the past 100 years.
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.

 Wikipedia: Libertarianism
On the Nolan Chart, libertarianism rests in the upper right quadrant, or that of high economic freedom and high personal freedom.
Libertarians prefer not to be called "right-wing." Indeed, they reject the one-dimensional left/right political spectrum and instead propose a two-dimensional space with personal freedom on one Cartesian axis and economic freedom on the other.
This space is shown by the Nolan Chart, proposed by David Nolan, the founder of the United States Libertarian Party.

Libertarians use the "Nolan Chart", named after libertarian David Nolan, to demonstrate a two-dimensional alternative to the conventional one-dimensional liberal-conservative or leftist-rightist dichotomies.
One dimension of the Nolan Chart square is labeled "personal liberty" and second dimension is labeled "economic liberty".
Nolan Chart critics argue that personal liberty and economic liberty are indivisible, while Nolan Chart proponents argue that the Nolan Chart is intended to show that conservatives prefer economic liberty over personal liberty, liberals prefer personal liberty over economic liberty, and libertarians favor both liberties more.

 The 3-Line Quiz
It is not as simple as the left-right model, or as neat and seemingly tidy as the Nolan chart, but I feel it places a more correct emphasis on the right issues while still giving most of the same information as the Nolan Chart.
The Nolan Chart fails on certain issues such as affirmative action, college speech codes and gun control, which are largely social issues but disrupt the social axis of the chart.
So the chart I made does not divide the issues up as neatly, but still groups them together in such a way as to distinguish between political perspectives.

Similar to the chart used by the Political Compas is the Nolan chart, created by libertarian David Nolan, with an economic and a political axis, skewed by 45 degrees.
This chart shows what he considers as "economic freedom" (issues like taxation, free trade and free enterprise) on the x axis and what he considers as "personal freedom" (issues like drug legalization, abortion and the draft) on the y axis.
Another three-dimensional representation is the Vosem Chart, the axes of which represent cultural issues, fiscal issues, and corporate issues.

The Vosem Chart is a 3-dimensional model of the political spectrum.
Those who view themselves as "on the left" are more likely to support drug legalization and gay rights, emphasize a belief in the civil and moral equality of all people regardless of ethnicity, color, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, gender identification, health status, or age, and frown on arbitrary social conventions.
Those who view themselves as "on the right" are more likely to support the War on Drugs, have a traditionally Judaeo-Christian-influenced view on sex, gender relations, gender roles, and family relationships, and have a law-and-order view of the world that supports the legal enforcement of socially or religiously prescribed norms and traditions.

Nolan points to Barlow's development as a pass protector, and he praised the runner for his improved locker-room comportment.
But Nolan acknowledged Barlow still "dances" sometimes while looking for a hole, in stark contrast to Gore, who hits holes with regularity and seems to squeeze out extra yards almost every time he carries the football.
While not saying Gore might have moved ahead of Barlow on the depth chart, Nolan did indicate the fifth-year veteran — scheduled to earn $2.5 million next year — can look forward to sharing carries in the future, much as he did with Hearst his first three seasons.

 The Geometry of the Nolan Chart   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
If the whole square of the Chart is 10 units on a side, then its area is 100 square units.
The remaining distance from the center of the whole square to the edge of the whole square is then 5 minus the square root of 10 (= 1.838).
Sometimes Nolan Charts are constructed without attention to this kind of precision, perhaps with the "Centrist" division smaller in size than the other four.

 Positive & Negative Liberties in Three Dimensions
With something like Rand's remark in mind, David Nolan, one of the founders of the Libertarian Party, realized that the old idea of a left/right political spectrum was inadequate to capture how it was that people like he and Rand and Jefferson viewed freedom.
The two charts that accompany and follow this paragraph contain two sets of questions to apply to the axes of the Nolan Chart, one for personal and one for economic rights.
Since the original Nolan Chart employs two kinds of "negative" liberty, it is possible to represent "positive" liberty on a separate axis, producing a three dimensional display of political positions.

Schwarzenegger pointed to a chart, prompting Nolan to note that the governor is now using props in his campaign to reform state government.
Nolan said the governor's plan is already under attack by groups that face funding cuts and by Elizabeth Hill, a non-partisan independent legislative analyst who says the governor's proposal for automatic across-the-board budget cuts during lean years could kill badly needed programs, while leaving the less important bureaucracies untouched.
At the same time he says the state needs to save money, Schwarzenegger seemed to be pledging state funds -- potentially millions -- to rebuild the mudslide-ravaged community of La Conchita, even though geologists say the community is destined for another disaster and should be condemned.
