Well Sun Tzu, I'm assuming you mean a contemporary conservative right wing belief in lower taxes and the free market. If so you might say that such a person is socially liberal and economically liberal - Kind of an Ayn Rand/Milton Freidman type. This is very much the way of the libertarian party, the more right wing libertarians often focusing mainly on the economic aspect.
A left winger may often be socially liberal and economically conservative; wishing to protect local industry and union jobs, and retain the public service.
There are those who could be economically conservative and socially conservative - most of the people I know who fit that description tend to be Catholics for some reason.
