He's just an acolyte of Milton Friedman and Murray rothbard. Not all that special himself. But yes all the evolved "libertarians" evolved backwards.

Great point. Murray Rothbard made it, Grover Norquist marketed it, and the right couldn't get enough. I blame Milton Friedman for a lot but he was just using Chicago School of Economics methodology so it was bound to be repeated by someone else. But Rothbard was instrumental in making it a hard right idea.
