Libertarians are Anarchists who own property.

That's not a bad definition, although I don't think most libertarians would consider themselves anarchy-capitalists-at least, in my experience. Todd does go over that branch of libertarianism-in one of the final chapters-as well as minarchism and those who favor a night watchmen state.

One of the things I like about this book is his implicit rebuttal of those who want to adulterate libertarianism by adding a whole host of faddish, left wing codicils when it really is about the right to private property/self ownership, and the freedom to exercise that right without compulsion by the state or its agents.
