Nov 7, 2019 at 8:11	comment	added	a4android		@WayfaringStranger I'd generally agree libertarianism didn't come to the fore until the 1960s onwards. Certainly RAH's drift to conservativism in the 1950s was part of it. 1950s science-fiction is closer to 30s & 40s SF than current forms of the field. Once it's far enough in the past, it all gets mashed together.

Libertarian ideals only came to the fore with Heinlein's 50's drift to conservatism. Not sure when the 50's got included in the golden age, but it's a recent development.
