Actually, this is exactly what some libertarians believe.

The defining characteristics of libertarian legal theory are its insistence that the amount of government intervention should be kept to a minimum and the primary functions of law should be enforcement of contracts and social order, though "social order" is often seen as a desirable side effect of a free market rather than a philosophical necessity
To be fair, this kind of falls on the Anarcho-Capitalism side of Libertarian theory, but to say it's not in sync with the general belief is false.
