    • 2009 February 13, Ross Douthat, “The Future of Liberaltarianism (II)”, in The Atlantic[1]:
      But it means being open to the possibility that the old fusionism, battered and bruised as it is, may still hold as much promise for the advancement of libertarian policy goals as "liberaltarianism" ever will.
    • 2011 October 20, Connor Friedersdorf, “Cautiously, Libertarians Reach Out to Occupy Wall Street”, in The Atlantic:
      Insofar as they're prepared to exploit an opportunity for a game-changing convergence, they owe a debt of gratitude to Brink Lindsey and Will Wilkinson, whose indispensable work on what came to be called "liberaltarianism" was cut short by shortsightedness and discomfort with heterodoxy.
    • 2015 March 13, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, “The only home for libertarians is on the right”, in The Week:
      The reason why liberaltarianism was always doomed to fail is because, at the end of the day, progressivism is an all-encompassing ideology.
