De-Socialization in Theory and Practice

After the Revolution — Economics of De-Socialization

06/03/2019 Murray N. Rothbard

Murray N. Rothbard of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, explains that Mises and the Austrians forecasted the collapse of socialism, and points to the tremendous opportunity that now exists for a social experiment in freedom. He focuses on what must be done—monetarily, institutionally, and ideologically—to achieve it, and urges a stroke-of-the-pen dismantling of the old order. Includes an introduction by Lew Rockwell. Presented by the Mises Institute at the Washington Court Hotel in Washington, DC, on 23 April 1990.

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.
