	LP News Feb95 - Congress: Murray Rothbard 1926-1995
		Rothbard was the author of Man, Economy, and State (1962), a treatise elucidating the full range of economics using logical methods he thought appropriate to the social sciences.
		Rothbard's America's Great Depression (1963), an empirical application of monetary theory to the business cycle, was also the first scholarly work to argue a non-market cause of the stock market crash and subsequent depression, as well as to reinterpret the presidency of Herbert Hoover as a proto-New Deal.
		On military and foreign policy, Rothbard regarded himself as a member of the pre-1950s Old Right in the tradition of Robert Taft, and as such was a fierce opponent of the national security state.

	Justin Raimondo - An Enemy of the State: The Life of Murray N. Rothbard
		Murray was a knowledgeable propagandist and stimulating essayist who offered libertarians an alternative to the Death Star of the Rand cult and thus played a pivotal role in shaping the reborn libertarian movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
		Rothbard maintained that the West was wholly culpable, the Soviet Union wholly innocent, in responsibility for the Cold War.
		Rothbard was not an outstanding thinker who pursued fringe politics as a hobby, but an outstanding influence in fringe politics who pursued intellectual system-building as a hobby.

	Behind the Headlines
		There is Rothbard the historian: his four-volume set on the American Revolution, Conceived in Liberty, puts the first successful libertarian revolution in history in its political, economic, and socio-religious context, and is a veritable treasure house of knowledge, packed with nuggets of fascinating historical facts.
		Rothbard also parted ways with Ayn Rand: The occasion was a silly "trial" staged by the Randians, in which he was cast into the outer darkness for the sin of refusing to give up his Episcopalian wife (the Randians were atheists).
		Rothbard's turn toward the revived Old Right in the nineties was prefigured by his enthusiasm for Buchanan, who explicitly invoked the spirit of the old America First Committee and those brave isolationists, of Chodorov's rank, who had stood up to the War Party in the 1940s.

		Rothbard was the subject of scurrilous charges from several quarters throughout much of his career and even after his death, including (at the time of this writing) some misrepresentations from the "Objectivist" camp regarding the period of Rothbard's involvement with the Randian inner circle.
		Of course, these lessons were, to a large degree, as Rothbard himself recognized, simply a matter of relearning the lessons of the radical liberals of the nineteenth century, of the Jeffersonian wing of the American founding, and of the founding libertarians (such as John Lilburne and the American Roger Williams) of the seventeenth-century English Revolution.
		In 1965, Rothbard predicted the collapse of the Soviet empire: based on his knowledge as an economist, he recognized that socialism could not succeed, and, using his knowledge of intellectual history, he predicted that the ideas of Locke and Jefferson, would, in the end, defeat the ideas of Marx and Lenin.

	Murray Rothbard, R
		Murray N. Rothbard, one of the foremost libertarian thinkers of the 20th century and a leading theoretician of free-market anarchism, died this past January at the age of 68.
		Rothbard's influence on the libertarian movement is incalculable.
		Wry, pugnacious, and a bit of a curmudgeon, Murray Rothbard was always at the center of controversy, and his career in the libertarian movement was frequently marked by feuds and ruptures with other libertarian thinkers and organizations over principles and personalities.

	Mixed Premises: A Critique of Murray Rothbard’s Sociology of the Ayn Rand Cult
		Rothbard’s work in the realm of economics is commendable, but in his stance on ethics he does err toward the side of traditional dichotomies of passion versus reason, hedonism versus stoicism, and upholds the former while attributing the latter to Rand.
		Rothbard refers to the “wooden, posturing, one-dimensional heroes and heroines” who were “explicitly supposed to serve as role models for every Randian.” To this I reply that I would prefer to learn of the content of a man’s mind over the color of his shoelaces any day.
		Rothbard contends that Rand’s charisma was “buttressed by her air of unshakeable arrogance and self-assurance.” A pride taken in living, and a confidence in the validity of one’s ideas (rightly dubbed self-assurance) has been mixed by Rothbard with term defining an unwarranted and overly elevated opinion of oneself.

	Murray Rothbard and Anarcho-Capitalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The foremost proponent of anarcho-capitalism was Murray Rothbard (1926-95).
		Rothbard's assumption is that all human action is reducible to the production and consumption of wealth, and that all human relations are reducible to the exchange of goods and services.
		Rothbard makes a rare concession to human decency, without offering any real justification for it, by admitting that it would be "grotesque" to follow his own logic to its end.

		Rothbard is determined to peg voluntaryists as disciples of Gandhi, so I will try again to set the record straight (probably with little effect, since anything I say in Gandhi's defense will be taken as evidence of discipleship).
		Rothbard's scurrilous remarks about nonviolent resistance are an insult, not only to voluntaryists, but also to LP members who understand that nonviolent resistance is an issue distinct from voluntaryism.
		Murray Rothbard achieves this brilliantly in such works as Conceived in Liberty, but it is tragically absent in his account of Gandhi.

	MURRAY ROTHBARD
		I hadn't yet heard of Murray Rothbard and thus couldn't even have imagined that I would be catapulted by him into the midst of what would later be termed the "Austrian Revival." My degree was in electrical engineering, but the hoped-for career was stillborn because of Southeast Asia and the military draft.
		I found Rothbard's account of boom and bust absolutely compelling and especially significant in light of the stark contrast between the views of the Austrian economists and those of the "educated" citizenry.
		Rothbard was clearly enthused about the diagrammatical exposition; he saw it as beating the Keynesians at their own game.

	Murray N. Rothbard's America's Great Depression
		Rothbard, theorizing at a lower level of aggregation, showed that policy-distorted interest rates give rise to a mismatch between the intertemporal production plans of entrepreneurs and the underlying intertemporal consumption preferences, the latter being expressed by people's willingness to save.
		Just two years before the publication of Rothbard's book, Gardner Ackley, a textbook writer with a distinct Keynesian bent of mind, dealt a serious blow to the Austrian theory by introducing in his Macroeconomics (Macmillan, 1961) a "classical model" that was for years to serve as a foil for defending the Keynesian alternative.
		Rothbard is to be credited for keeping alive (during a period when the Austrian school was almost completely in eclipse) the key ideas about how the market process goes right if left on its own and how it goes so wrong when the central bank induces more growth than savers are willing to finance.

	Rothbard, Life and Times (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Rothbard stopped attending the seminar only because, in the 1960s, it was moved from the second floor of one building to the eighth floor of another building, and he had a phobia about elevators.
		Rothbard countered that competition is far more pervasive than is commonly realized, a view consistent with the fact that big railroads, steel companies, auto companies, computer companies and others have fallen on hard times as new competitors with better ideas, more efficient technologies or lower costs have entered markets.
		Rothbard didn’t deny that there are problems in free markets, but he insisted politicians and bureaucrats are inherently capable of fixing them, because they are imperfect human beings with limited knowledge, driven by their own self-interest — and possessing power to disrupt the entire economy, something even the mightiest corporate executives are incapable of doing.

	Book Review -- Making Economic Sense
		Rothbard threw the book across the room and said, "Roy, open it to any page, any page and I'll tell you what he says." Roy randomly opened the book, started reading from a passage, and Rothbard finished it for him.
		Murray said, "Roy, pick any book, any book off any shelf, open the book to any page and I'll tell you about the author's argument." Roy picked a dust-covered book about ethics from a top shelf, opened it, and began to read aloud.
		From 1982 until his death, Murray Rothbard served as academic vice president of The Ludwig von Mises Institute, headquartered at the Auburn University campus in Auburn, Alabama.

	Rothbard on War
		The introduction is taken from "Murray N. Rothbard: A Legacy of Liberty," by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
		Murray N. Rothbard (1926-1995) was just one man with a typewriter, but he inspired a world-wide renewal in the scholarship of liberty.
		Whereas other texts pretend to an uninterrupted march toward higher levels of truth, Rothbard illuminated a history of unknown geniuses and lost knowledge, of respected charlatans and honored fallacies.

	Children's Rights versus Murray Rothbard's The Ethics of Liberty
		Rothbard holds that parents have the right to abandon their children at any time, regardless of the consequences.
		Rothbard's position on abandonment, then is an unavoidable conclusion of his most fundamental premises.
		Rothbard's way out of this dilemma (which he never seems to confront openly) is to assume that if you don't own yourself, then the only alternative is that it must be at least possible for someone else to own you.

	An Enemy of the State: The Life of Murray N. Rothbard: The Independent Review: The Independent Institute
		Rothbard, on the other hand, despite being born into a New York Jewish immigrant family with leftist sympathies (one uncle was an engineer on the Moscow subway), seems always to have been an enemy of the state.
		As Rothbard himself explained at a 1994 Mises Institute conference, he had concentrated his ideological and political activism on America’s wars because he found them unjust and because war has always been ‘an instrument of state power over the health, the lives, and the property of their subject citizens and social institutions’ (pp.
		The Volker Fund provided Rothbard with a multiyear grant to prepare what became in 1962 his magisterial contribution to the Austrian tradition, Man, Economy, and State, but apparently declined to support the third part of the treatise (eventually published in 1969 as Power and Market) in part because of the work’s anarchist implications.

	Monetary Central Planning and the State, Part 33: Murray N. Rothbard and the Case for a 100 Percent Gold Dollar
		This, Rothbard argued, was the beginning of "fractional-reserve banking." The gold and silver on actual deposit with a bank represented the "reserves" against which the receipts and notes issued by that bank could be redeemed "on demand."
		He also argued that this would eliminate the "business cycle." Banking would have two divisions: one would be pure warehousing, in which the depositor paid a fee to store his actual gold or silver and for which the actual amount deposited would always be in the vault for 100 percent redemption on demand.
		Setting aside the problem of the business cycle, Rothbard's central argument against fractional-reserve banking was that it represented fraud — an issuing of bank notes and a publicly stated promise to pay on demand that could not be fulfilled if enough depositors were to want redemption within the same period of time.
