Overall, a bit too simplistic.
Eg
"Value". There are two concepts of value; extrinsic or 'use value' and 'intrinsic' ,which is an illusion. Economic value is based on the illusion that an object has intrinsic worth.
Libertarianism: Before coming to this forum,I had barely heard the word.The people I ran across here who described themselves as "Libertarians" tended to be American. THEIR form of Libertarianism was based on an extreme form of laissez faire economics, resulting in a social Darwinism of "I'm OK Jack,fuck you".
Why the need for simple definitions for complex ideas?
