About
Liberty Analysis applies the Liberty RAG corpus — approximately 25,000 indexed passages from canonical libertarian texts — to evaluate political platforms, policy proposals, and candidate positions.
Analyses are generated using retrieval-augmented evaluation against works by Murray Rothbard, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Frédéric Bastiat, Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Stephan Kinsella, Gustave de Molinari, and others in the Austrian School and natural-rights libertarian tradition.
Scores reflect fidelity to libertarian principles as established by the corpus — not political viability, electability, or personal endorsement.
