The Uncompromising Rothbard Lives On

The Uncompromising Rothbard Lives On
Murray Rothbard’s influence and reputation keeps growing larger more than fifteen years after his untimely passing.  His passion for truth, his clear thinking and writing, and his uncompromising libertarian message  continues to set new people afire for the cause of liberty.  But even the most devoted Rothbardians were caught by surprise when  ABC News cited Rothbard’s comparison of taxation to “highway robbery” alongside a wonderful photo of him.

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.
