Paul Wilson, although he tends to cast stereotypical statists as villains in extremely improbably situations. L. Neil Smith's THE PROBABILITY BROACH and THE VENUS BELT---fast action. HER MAJESTY'S BUCKETEERS probably too, although I couldn't get more than a few pages into it. J. Neil Shulman, ALONGSIDE OF NIGHT---best of the lot. Note that there is an award ("Prometheus"---x$ in gold) given to what is judged the best libertarian SF of the year. David Friedman (son of the Chicago economist and a rising L econ. himself) suggested that they should consider literary merit as well as political purity, in which case MERCHANTER'S LUCK would be a shoo-in (his opinion).
