Liberaltarianism is a political ideology that combines principles both from Modern Liberalism and Libertarianism. It's a mostly utilitarian ideology that believes in relatively small government, non-atomistic individualism, a libertarian live and let live philosophy, the ease of doing business and free market capitalism, but accompanied with the more paternalistic approach of Modern Liberalism, arguing that full on laissez-faire economics aren't the way to go, and aim for a more moderate view.
This more paternalistic approach in regard to markets is also applied to government welfare programs. Contrary to most libertarians, they wouldn't advocate for the abolition of all welfare programs, nor, as many modern liberals, would they advocate for large-scale socialization of services such as healthcare. Instead, they try to advocate for a more moderate approach in these topics, such as a school voucher system or a compulsory private health insurance system.
In most issues, they'll usually advocate for an in-between of the liberal and the libertarian proposal, without exactly siding with either or fitting into either group.
Variants
Left-Liberaltarianism
Left-Liberaltarianism is the more moderate form of left-libertarianism. It's pretty much a more libertarian leaning version of Social Liberalism or Liberal Socialism, wanting to incorporate their basic principles within a moderately smaller state.
Right-Liberaltarianism
Right-Liberaltarianism is the more moderate form of right-libertarianism. It acts as the middle ground between modern day right-libertarianism and more moderate forms of market liberalism, sharing some similar rhetoric with right-libertarians while not viewing sate welfare and regulations as an inherent negative.

- Classical Liberalism - Love you, even if you are my grandparent twice.
I'm not inbred! - Ordo-Liberalism & Social Capitalism - Freiburg school, perfect economic policies.

Frenemies
- Social Liberalism - You've got some really nice ideas, although your ideal state is a little too big, and most people would confuse me with you.
- Nordic Model - Similar to the guy above. You're overall pretty ok, but I'm not really the biggest fan of corporatist economics.

- Third Way - Please ease off all that military spending man! Besides that you're pretty cool.
- National Liberalism - Surprisingly not bad, for a nationalist.

- Reactionary Libertarianism - Bro, are you serious?
- Neoconservatism - LEAVE AFGHANISTAN!
