Progressivism brought the triumph of institutionalized racism, the disfranchising of blacks in the South, the cutting off of immigration, the building up of trade unions by the federal government into a tripartite of big government, big business, big union alliance, the glorifying of military virtues and conscription, and a drive for American expansion abroad. In short, the Progressive era ushered the modern American politico-economic system into being.
From the Preface by Murray N. Rothbard
Murray N. Rothbard made major contributions to economics, history, political philosophy, and legal theory. He combined Austrian economics with a fervent commitment to individual liberty.
Deflate the dollars, or redefine the dollar’s weight—or some blend of the two.
The supply of money, Rothbard answers, essentially does not matter.
An opponent of gold describes the 100 percent standard better than its friends do.
