Rothbardian History

Rothbardian History

Robert Wenzel would like to see more Rothbardian history.

He seems to me entirely right; it’s imperative that those who knew Murray set down their stories about him.  Here is one of mine to start things off. Murray had an incredible memory for historical  detail. One I was telling him that I had manged to stump Mel Bradford by asking him Rutherford Hayes’ middle name. Murray said, “It was Birchard, of course.”

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
