Abstract
The thesis examines technolibertarianism in the context of contemporary socio-technical challenges to liberal democracy. The research project investigates the interplay between the Alt-Right and blockchain technology. In this context, a political thinking develops whose elements are to be explored in this dissertation project both genealogically and in terms of political theory and are situated between the 1980s and the present. The question is what kind of political models have been formulated at the interface of politics, economics, law and technology since the 1980s and what role blockchain technology plays in this formation.
