• This refers to a chart that maps political ideologies based on their support for economic and personal freedom.
• It was created by American libertarian politician David Nolan in 1969 in order to provide an alternative to the traditional one-dimensional depiction of political positions between the left wing and the right wing.
• In contrast, the Nolan chart is plotted across four quadrants on a Cartesian chart and provides broader criteria on which to evaluate political ideologies.
• On the chart, political positions are classified based on the level to which they support or oppose the influence of government on the economic and personal freedom of individuals.
