"The origins of the alternative right can be found in thinkers as diverse as Oswald Spengler, Joseph Sobran, H.L Mencken, Julius Evola, Sam Francis, and the [[paleoconservative]] movement that rallied around the presidential campaigns of [[Pat Buchanan]]. The French New Right also serve as a source of inspiration for many leaders of the alt-right." <ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/03/29/an-establishment-conservatives-guide-to-the-alt-right/ An Establishment Conservative’s Guide To The Alt-Right, Breitbart, March 29, 2016]</ref>.  Contemporary alt-right authors include Jared Taylor, Steve Sailor, Richard Spencer, Paul Kersey, Razib Khan, and Milo Yiannopoulos.

The term "alt-right" came into being in November 2008 when Paul Gottfried addressed the H. L. Mencken Club about what he called "the alternative right". In 2009, two more posts at Taki's Magazine, by Patrick J. Ford and Jack Hunter, further discussed the 'alternative right.' The term is commonly attributed to Richard B. Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute and founder of Alternative Right magazine.  The alternatively right has alternatively been called "national" libertarianism, "neo"-paleoconservatism, "evolutionary" conservatism, "scientific" conservatism, and the post-religious right.<ref>https://twitter.com/douthatnyt/status/704462319074594816</ref>
