Murray N. Rothbard

Mises's notable theory of classes has been curiously neglected. By bringing it back into prominence, we have to abandon the cozy view that all of us, we and our privileged rulers alike, are in a continuing harmony of interest.

Douglas E. French

At least one reviewer was dismayed that everything had a price in the <i>True Grit</i> story. Indeed, Mattie Ross is constantly making economic calculations while trying to make the best deals she can.

David S. D'Amato

Removing the ability of a lone societal institution to arrogate to itself the right to pronounce law and to decide cases would result not in disorder but in a legal framework that more perfectly reflects the norms of society.

Philipp Bagus

In order to understand the tragedy of the euro and its history, it is important to be familiar with the two diverging and underlying visions and tensions that have come to the fore in the face of a single currency.

If you abjure all violence, you must abjure the state. Thus, while not all libertarians are pacifists, all pacifists are libertarians, whether they realize it or not (and, admittedly, a great many pacifists have not realized it). Gandhi, it appears, did realize it.
Ludwig von Mises

More than the anti-Soviet protests of the late 1980s, the Egyptian uprisings reveal what might eventually come home to the American empire itself, under the right conditions and at the right time.

Fergus Hodgson
The support of libertarians for big business is another debunked myth. So long as these enterprises are compatible with genuine free-market capitalism, fine. But because so many seek subsidies, bailouts, and other forms of coerced largesse, they do not carry the banner of libertarianism.
Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.

The Cold War was an unprecedented form of peacetime socialism, designed to appeal to big business, and Eisenhower became its spokesman. Savvy libertarians knew exactly what was going on and supported Cold War opponent Robert Taft.
