Something like that - right libertarian. Pro-capitalist.
I think the anarchists here are a bit too glib in dismissing their right-wing counterparts. They argue that modern big business capitalism is an authoritarian perversion of the pure free market - they really believe all that stuff about liberty, equality, and Bentham. (Never mind that such a free market never existed anywhere but in their heads.) So small enterprise, rampant competition, voluntary exchange, etc., equal freedom. It has fairly wide appeal in the U.S. - and has a lot in common with the Green Party's platform, in fact.
