Presented in New York, New York, on Saturday, 13 November 1971.

The “Shaping the Future Libertarian Conference” was sponsored by the Society for Individual Liberty and the New York Libertarian Association. This lecture was recorded by Dan Karlan on reel-to-reel audio tape, and generously shared with the Mises Institute by Joseph Buchman.

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.
