Review by Paul Gottfried
David Gordon, from the Foreword:
Shortly after Murray Rothbard’s lamented death in January, 1995, Lew Rockwell telephoned me. He asked me to write a book review journal for the Mises Institute, covering new books in philosophy, history, politics, and economics. Moreover, he wanted the first issue in one month. I managed to meet the deadline and continued to write the journal for a number of years. Articles from The Mises Review form the bulk of the material included in these volumes; but a few reviews from other sources are here as well. Ever since I first read Man, Economy, and State in 1962, I have been a convinced Rothbardian, and it is from this standpoint that I have written my articles.
David Gordon is Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute and editor of the Mises Review.
Although F. A. Hayek had many important contributions to economic theory, both Rothbard and Mises had major disagreements with Hayek's book, The Constitution of Liberty because of Hayek's support of public welfare measures.
In this week’s Friday Philosophy, Dr. David Gordon takes issue with Steven B. Smith’s portrayal of Abraham Lincoln as a “statesman” who was “America’s greatest president.”
In this week’s Friday Philosophy, Dr. David Gordon takes on the question of unjust laws. Under what circumstances should people obey them anyway. Murray Rothbard helps to provide an answer.
