Paul Krugman | The "Libertarian Moment" Will Have to Wait

Robert Draper's recent article in The New York Times Magazine about the possibility of a "libertarian moment" has drawn a fair bit of commentary, much of which involves questioning the supposed polling evidence.

As Jonathan Chait, a commentator at New York magazine, pointed out, independent polling - as opposed to surveys conducted by libertarians seeking to boost their own profile - suggests that young Americans are actually much more pro-government than their elders.

They may look relatively kindly on antiwar libertarians, but they really don't support the policy agenda.
