Book Note: Rothbard: Man, Economy, and State: A Treatise on Economic Principles [PDF], by Manuel S. "Manny" Klausner, New York University Law Review, Jun 1963
"There are some special reasons why Rothbard's treatise is of particular interest and value to lawyers. Because economic issues underlie and permeate much of law and politics today, it is imperative that lawyers study and comprehend economics. This is not only true for lawyers who wish to take an active part in civic and political affairs ..." |
Enemy of the State, by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr., Mises.org Daily Article, 24 Nov 2006
Related Topic: Libertarianism
"Rothbard never claimed complete originality, as his attackers imply. His economic theories came from the work of Ludwig von Mises, his political ethical views from the Jeffersonian-Thomist tradition, his foreign policy from the American Old Right, his anarchism from the Tucker-Nock American tradition of political radicalism." |
Murray N. Rothbard: Mr. Libertarian, by Wendy McElroy, 6 Jul 2000
A tribute to Rothbard as a "system builder," an integrator of multiple disciplines into a "philosophy of freedom"
"Following in the footsteps of his mentor, the pioneering Austrian Economist Ludwig von Mises, Rothbard grounded human liberty in human nature. Developing an explicit philosophy of Liberty, he drove his insights through history to re-examine the real implications and meaning of events, such as the American Revolution. He laid a moral foundation for freedom, then used it to springboard into a strategy by which to achieve it. The integration was a stunning accomplishment." |

Murray Rothbard's Favorite Books, by David Gordon, 3 Mar 2007
"Few scholars approach Murray Rothbard’s immense learning in economics, history, politics, and philosophy. From all the books he read, Rothbard singled out a few that had most influenced him. ... As all readers of Rothbard know, he wrote in a sparkling, punchy style, ever alert to take the battle to the enemy." |

Foreword to the 2008 Mises Institute edition
"While it is therefore written in Rothbard's characteristically sparkling prose it does not shy away from a rigorous presentation of the basic theoretical principles ... Rothbard himself was the leading monetary economist in the sound money tradition in the second half of the twentieth century, contributing many of the building blocks to the theoretical structure that he lays out." |

Review of The Irrepressible Rothbard: The Rothbard-Rockwell Report Essays of Murray N. Rothbard

Examines Randy Barnett's Wall Street Journal article "Libertarians and the War" and a follow-up at the Volokh Conspiracy blog
"Murray Rothbard, who did some of the most important work on libertarian foreign policy, summed up the answer in The Ethics of Liberty ... As one can readily see, no principle of national sovereignty is needed to establish the noninterventionist principle. Governments don't have rights over 'their' territories or populations. Rather, they are ubiquitous threats to life, liberty, and property." |

"Indeed, Rothbard emphatically argued that economics is a strictly value-free science and the economist qua economist is therefore precluded from offering any policy recommendations whatever. The economist may of course advocate policy but only after he has explicitly stated a coherent ethical system from which his value judgments emanate." |
Cartels: Economists and Central Bankers, by Gary North, 11 Jul 2007

Discusses why economics textbooks never delve into the necessity of central banking
"Such was the fate of Murray Rothbard through most of his career. He not only denied the legitimacy of central banking, he also demonstrated that it was fraudulent, a monopoly protecting a cartel, and the creator of the boom-bust economic cycle. He wrote what no other economist had ever written, an upper division-level textbook on money and banking that demonstrated all of these points. No textbook publishing company would touch it." |

Interview by Kenny Johnsson for "The Liberal Post" blog
"Did Murray make mistakes? Of course. There are no oracles who see all and know all. But no one can read a masterpiece like Man, Economy, and State, or browse his massive History of Economic Thought, and say that his economic thought was unreliable. He was a great theorist and teacher in every way." |

Autobiographical, recounts Prof. Salerno's progression from conservatism to anarcho-capitalism, from classical to Austrian economics, and meeting Murray Rothbard
"Rothbard ... argued that the Cold War was a ruse devised by the American ruling elite to justify the continuation and expansion of the massive, tax-consuming, welfare-warfare state built up during World War II at home and to rationalize postwar U.S. imperialist ambitions for assorted military interventions abroad." |

Murray Rothbard discusses that decline in his classic essay 'Left and Right: The Prospects for Liberty,' which should be read by anyone with an interest in this subject." |

"This view of Rothbard as a disruptive influence – which Doherty does more than his part in spreading – is certainly true in a narrow sense, yet still it is an annoying trope because what Rothbard was disrupting needed a good kick in the pants, and he was very capable of delivering a very swift and painful blow to his erstwhile followers. If he were alive today, we would certainly be hearing yowls of pain from the 'pragmatists.'" |

Autobiographical, recounts how Prof. Block met Ayn Rand and later Murray Rothbard and how he progressed from libertarian minarchism to anarcho-capitalism
"Murray was always exceedingly kind to me, tolerant of my foibles, endlessly patient. By now I was reading Man, Economy and State. I had this weird reaction to the experience of reading the book by day, and seeing the author, regularly, at night. ...

"The late 1950s and early 1960s were the formative years for what has since become known as 'libertarian thinking.' ... Murray Rothbard was fond of saying that, in those early days, all libertarians would fit inside his New York City apartment. There was more realism than humor in his remark." |
