3- Penn and Teller\'s \'\'Bullshit\'\' should probably go to the liberalism section, but to be honest, I haven\'t seen much of the show.

EDIT: Thanks a lot, Telcontar, but now I think I could use the space to make some suggestions (I don\\\'t have an edit account):

1- \\\'\\\'The Baroque Cycle\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'Crypronomicon\\\'\\\', both by {{Neal Stephenson}}, deserve to be in the liberalism section. In the latter case it\\\'s a little bit more arguable, since the classical liberalism themes are not as central to the storyline as they are to the former.

2- The book\\\'s title is definitely misleading, but \\\'\\\'Anarchy, State and Utopia\\\'\\\' by Robert Nozick does not advocate anarcho-capitalism, but minarchist classical liberalism. Nozick spends a third part of the book defending the minarchist position by introducing the concepts of risk and compensation, which he uses to show that a stateless society can develop into a minimal state society without attacking individual rights.

3- Penn and Teller\\\'s \\\'\\\'Bullshit\\\'\\\' should probably go to the liberalism section, but to be honest, I haven\\\'t seen much of the show.

(I realize it\'s a little late to reply, but I\'ll do it anyways)

Capitalism itself is not a political ideology, it\'s an economic system which appeared as the natural consequence of implementing liberal policies in the 18th century. The article takes a more philosophical approach to the various political ideologies instead of an economic one. For more detailed articles on capitalist and socialist economics, see {{Useful Notes: Capitalism}} and {{Useful Notes: Socialism}}.

Also, the article refers to political ideologies by their non-American names, so the sections on Liberalism (which in the american context means Social Democracy and in the rest of the world denotes libertarians of the bleeding heart and minarchist sort) and Conservatism (which in the US can be used to refer to classical liberalism and, well, conservatism) \'\'aren\'t\'\' really written as a counterpoint to each other.
