there's a side of nietzsche that i can see appealing to the libertarian set---the stuff about a natural aristocracy that reveals itself and it's hierarchies through agon (struggle, conflict) and that's artifically held in false positions through the workings of externally generated, presumably bureaucratic hierarchies. even from this less-than-cliffnotes version, the mapping of this dimension in nietzsche onto the idea of Markets is pretty straightforward. this side of nietzsche plus ayn rand=>much of contemporary libertarianism. add to it various marketeers on the order of von mieses and aspects of hayek or the lesser lights on the american free marketeer right and in principle that'd about sum it up.
