The Mises Institute has named Dr. Patrick Newman the Murray N. Rothbard Research Fellow. He is the first scholar to receive this title, one well deserved given his prolific scholarly work in recent years, which builds on the legacy of the late Murray N. Rothbard.
Dr. Newman is an assistant professor of economics at the University of Tampa and earned his PhD at George Mason University. In 2019, he received the George F. Koether Award for Writing in Defense of Liberty for his work on Conceived in Liberty, volume 5: The New Republic, 1784–1791. And in 2020, he received the Gary G. Schlarbaum Award to a Promising Young Scholar for Excellence in Research and Teaching.
He is responsible for the editing of the posthumous publication of two of Rothbard’s lost works, The Progressive Era and the fifth volume of Conceived in Liberty, both of which he meticulously transcribed and edited. The latter required translating Rothbard’s unpublished handwritten manuscript.
Dr. Newman has also added to the Mises Institute’s catalogue with his own original work. This includes Cronyism: Liberty versus Power in Early America, 1607–1849, the forthcoming sequel Cronyism: The Rise of the Corporatist State, 1849–1929, and the forthcoming Murray N. Rothbard: The Making of an Austrian Economist, an intellectual biography of Rothbard coauthored with Dr. Joseph T. Salerno.
Dr. Newman is also a regular faculty participant at our summer student events Mises University and Rothbard Graduate Seminar. He has published academic articles in the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics and the Journal of Libertarian Studies, as well as a variety of scholarly publications outside of the Mises Institute.
Patrick Newman joins the Mises Institute’s distinguished list of named research fellows.
