I'm more of a social libertarian than an economic one, but riddle me this:

) Aren't even the most extreme of libertarians, like Ayn Rand, supportive of a judiciary system and an army?
) Don't most economic libertarians support government regulations against corporate abuses, monpolies, price-rigging, and so on?

I think most libertarians are not guilty of anything crazier than most Republicans and Democrats already believe, although accepting part of each ideology and rejecting the rest.  Few libertarians, if any, believe that corporations are inherently benevolent institutions that should be granted as much power as possible.
