Over at kuro5hin there is a article covering the history of political spectrums which introduces (to me) the Vosem chart. It is 3-dimensional, the new dimension being pro/anti corporate.

The Nolan was introduced to help the Libertarian debate, and I guess this is being introducted to try to assist in anti-corporate debate.

The ASCII art diagrams are worth checking out.
