I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.
> there are hardly any libertarians
There are tons of libertarians in the US. If you're in Luxembourg (judging from your profile?) you may have fewer of them.
There was a big push in the 70s. Most of the ones I've known well grew up in the 70s and read more or less the same literature. The had some influence in econ in the 70s and 80s and their influence is less mainstream now, so you may have fewer younger ones. There are still lots of them in tech, especially in the bay area. Perhaps they still skew older, I don't know much about the demographics these days.
It's partially an American phenomenon because of the cold war and because it became a way for conservatives to --racism and ++drugs. Nowadays you don't need a third party for that.
Plus many more. Google around for "insider trading" plus some of the standard libertarian economics keywords like "coasian" or "austrian" and you can find some of the literature. I haven't tried smoking any of it, though, and can't advise it.
