The history of Libertarian Monarchism is relatively short, as it emerged in the late 20th century as a response to the perceived failures of both [[File:Dem.png]] liberal democracy and [[File:Soc-h.png]] socialism. However, the roots of this ideology can be traced back to [[File:Clib.png]] classical liberal and [[File:Libertarian.png]] libertarian thinkers such as John Locke, [[File:Hayek.png]] Friedrich Hayek, and [[File:Murray N Rothbard.png]] Murray Rothbard, who emphasized the importance of individual liberty and limited government.

The concept was first handled by [[File:Hans Hermann Hoppe]] Hans-Hermann Hoppe in his book "Democracy: The God That Failed" in 2001. Hoppe argued that a monarchy, in which the monarch has limited powers and the government is strictly limited, is better at protecting individual liberty and limiting government power than a democracy.

Since then, several thinkers have contributed to the development of Libertarian Monarchism as an ideology. One of the most notable is [[File:PLB-Liechtenstein]] Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein, who wrote a book titled "The State in the Third Millennium" in which he advocated for a specific type of monarchy in which the monarch serves as a neutral arbiter of disputes between different groups in society.
