Never a Dull Moment
Introduction by Justin Raimondo
Murray Rothbard was a true polymath. He wasn’t just the number one theoretician of the modern libertarian movement — author of the monumental Man, Economy, and State; Conceived in Liberty, a four-volume history of the American Revolution; the two-volume An Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought, and essays too numerous to list — he was also its most tireless publicist, at least in its early days.
He didn’t live in an ivory tower: far from it. As he wrote in a 178-page memo entitled “Strategy For Libertarian Social Change”:
Last week, the Fed’s Federal Open Market Committee announced it would leave the target Federal Funds Rate unchanged.
During 2014 and 2015, the Fed repeatedly hinted that it would raise rates “soon” and that it would return the target rate to more normal levels.
Dr. Mark Thornton, a Mises Senior Fellow, was interviewed by The Daily Caller about the political positions off Libertarian Gary Johnson’s 2016 campaign:
Critics point to the fact that during his tenure as Governor of New Mexico (1995-2003), he increased the debt from $2.7 billion to $3.9 billion, according to Reason.
Dr. Ed Stringham, Mises Associated Scholar and speaker at our upcoming Boston Mises Circle, writes in the Wall Street Journal on why American’s faith in government law-enforcement is at a 20-year low:
It’s hard to believe, but we just wrapped up the 30th year of our Mises University program! Over 180 students from more than 100 schools gathered at our campus in Auburn to learn from luminaries such as Judge Andrew Napolitano, Tom Woods, Walter Block, Joseph Salerno, Peter Klein, Mark Thornton, Jeff Herbener, Bob Murphy, and more. Many of our faculty are Mises U grads themselves, like first-time lecturer Ben Powell from Texas Tech University.
