Abstract: Anarchy, State and Utopia is not only a classic in theory, but the political philosophy it expresses provided the ideological basis for the conservative turn in Western countries in the 1980s. Since the end of the Second World War, Western countries began to move toward the goal of a welfare state. Until the late 1960s, Western countries experienced a period of glorious social development. Rawls' Theory of Justice was the perfect philosophical expression of this historical era. By the 1980s, marked by the rise to power of President Reagan in the United States and Prime Minister Thatcher in Britain, the trend of political thought in the West changed and conservatism became popular. This conservatism is also a kind of liberalism, i.e., Lockean classical liberalism, and Noachic's extreme liberalism is the ideological representative of this political trend.
