A seminal work is David Ramsey Steele's book _From Marx to Mises_.
Published in the US in 1992 but drawing on work produced in the previous
15 or so years. It's mainly concerned with "the economic calculation
argument" but it articulates the libertarian New Right argument against
Marxism. Steele (a Brit) had spent the previous decade as a Marxist and
a decade earlier had written for the underground magazine, Oz.

Steele was a founding member of the UK Libertarian Alliance. He was
honest enough to acknowledge that most of the ideas and money came from
the US and he ended up teaching at the University of Chicago. As for
what happened to the Libertarian Alliance, you will need to look at back
issues of the anti-fascist magazine Searchlight. I'm sure Steele was
horrified, but others in the LA obviously saw no conflict between
fascism and the free market. A reconstructed, non-fascist LA currently
exists but its members remain aggressively clueless about why the free
market now fails to thrill.
