Galambosianism is an early precursor to libertarian philosophy promoted by an aerospace engineer named Andrew J. Galambos (1924-1997) during the 1960s. He gave a series of for-pay classes starting with "V-50" ("The Theory of Volition"). Unlike other precursors to libertarianism (such as the ideas of Ayn Rand, Robert LeFevre, Albert Jay Nock, and Ludwig von Mises), Galambos' ideas have largely been thrown in the dustbin of history by his fellow libertarians.
It’s a real philosophy that someone really thought of, obviously.
It’s not that obvious to me. There are very few hits for Galambosianism. Galambos seems to have been a real person, but even so, it’s not a huge amount of work to make some fake entries here and there.
Well, fair enough. My point was it’s a real thought someone had, but not (IMO) a very good one, whoever came up with it. Maybe it was that guy, or maybe it was someone borrowing his clout for whatever it’s worth.
