Stateless Society: Frech on Rothbard

Various members of the academic community have attempted to attack Murray Rothbard’s political and economic theories. One attempt made by H. E. Frech III in “The Public Choice Theory of Murray N. Rothbard, A Modern Anarchist” is quite disappointing in that it deals very superficially with many important areas of Rothbard’s work. This paper, however, will examine only one of Frech’s perfunctory criticisms — his charge that Rothbard’s theory of the stateless society is self-contradictory. The reasonableness of Frech’s arguments will be determined.

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.
