Just as the word liberal was lost to us, has libertarian been tainted, too? This time by state politics and social issues? It’s one reason I like to use Rothbard’s anarcho-capitalist, though I am not ready to give up on libertarian, to which he gave the correct meaning. It’s a political philosophy he said, period. But in the Charlie Rose interview, Ron said he preferred to be called a non-interventionist: no intervention in the economy, in personal lives, in other countries. Very Rothbardian, very neat.
