Rothbard’s Legacy, 21 Years Later

Murray Rothbard died 21 years ago today, and while he pioneered new scholarship in many areas — including anarcho-capitalism, welfare economics, and more — Rothbard is also largely responsible for making Ludwig von Mises known to us today. Rothbard’s activism — and his cooperative work with the Mises Institute — was of course key in popularizing the work of Mises, but he also took the scholarly work of Mises, extended it, and made it accessible to a new generation of scholars.
