Libertarianism, or as it shall henceforth be called, capitalism, places a heavy emphasis on the uninhibited right to personal possession. In capitalism, agents lay claim to resources that have not already be claimed by another agent, and from that point onward regard themselves as the rightful owners of those resources. Said resources are then often refined into more complex products, generating an even greater worth, and facilitating trade between parties. This process is seen as largely self-regulating, and capitalistic ideologies tend to advocate minimal interference in matters of economy from the authorities. Capitalism is often coupled with value libertarianism, but can function equally well in conservative cultures.

Capitalism tends to place extremely heavy emphasis on the utilitarian virtues, seeing as how these have a direct impact on personal and collective productivity. Since these virtues are classically associated with the male identity, capitalist cultures may be subject to chauvinist tendencies.

These virtues often end up suppressed or overlooked in societies with conservative leanings:
* Ambition. The radically lower emphasis on societal duty removes one important source of motivation for citizens. Everyone is left to find purpose and ambition for themselves.
* Chastity. Liberal society imposes very few restrictions on indulgence. While this is liberating, it also poses a danger to individuals who lack the ability to temper their habits.
* Diligence. The emphasis on personal freedom may cause fickleness in citizens stemming from a lack of training in discipline.
* Discipline. See diligence.
* Duty. This is emphasized to a much lower degree in liberal societies than in conservative ones, leading overall to a more fickle culture.
* Fidelity. The emphasis on personal freedom leads some people into an attitude that they are free to deceive others without inhibition, as long as no laws are broken. This does not promote trustworthiness, pushing society at large closer to the vigilance end of the vigilance vs. trust scale.
* Fortitude. See diligence. The responsibility to cultivate the mental and physical strength needed to successfully cope with life lies solely on the individual (and sometimes his/her family and parents).
* Frugality. Succumbing to passions and interests that are destructive is easy in liberal societies, where pretty much everything is allowed. This can lead individuals lacking in discipline or prudence to very destructive habits.
* Industriousness. See ambition.
* Loyalty. See duty.
* Humility. See modesty. The constant pressure to present oneself in a positive light in liberal society can lead to an inflated sense of self-worth.
* Modesty. Value liberal society usually gives rise to social hierarchies based on social and effectual merits. This encourages the individual to show off him- or herself in the most positive light possible, often crossing over into downright deception.
* Orderliness. Non-liberal societies have stricter organizational hierarchies. Organization needn't ''always'' lead to efficiency, however, as most communist states in modern history have demonstrated.
* Patience. Self-indulgence is overall far more prevalent in value liberal societies than in conservative ones. This can lead to a drastically reduced ability in the average individual to temper desires with patience and prudence.
* Prudence. Prudential judgement is entirely left to the individual in most cases. While liberating, it sometimes causes important historical lessons learned to be forgotten. This effect can be counteracted with public education, to a degree.
* Responsibility. The "anything goes" attitude of liberal society leads many people into an impression that they can escape any consequences for their behaviour. Sometimes they are right.
* Solidarity. The individualistic views of liberal society can lead to an over-emphasis of independence and self-sufficiency. This makes certain types of goals harder to attain. In modern capitalistic societies this is counteracted by the economical drive to cooperate for profit.
* Strength. See fortitude.
* Tenacity. See diligence.
* Trustworthiness. This can sometimes suffer from society's lowered expectations of loyalty and duty from the individual.
* Vigilance. The tolerance in liberal societies can sometimes cause genuine threats to collective interests and health to be overlooked.
