ROTHBARD’S SYSTEM OF ETHICS

POLITICS IN THEORY AND PRACTICE

Rothbard modified the famous dictum of Marx: he wished both to understand and change the world. He endeavored to apply the ideas he had developed in his theoretical work to current politics and to bring libertarian views to the attention of the general public. One issue for him stood foremost. Like Randolph Bourne, he maintained that “war is the health of the state”; he accordingly opposed an aggressive foreign policy.

ROTHBARD ON CURRENT ECONOMIC ISSUES

He offered comments on current economic issues in The Free Market, published by the Ludwig von Mises Institute; and a collection of his columns from 1982 to 1995 is available in Making Economic Sense.1
