In 1972, members of the newly created Libertarian Party wanted Murray Rothbard to be their candidate in the coming presidential run.

Ludwig von Mises was ridiculed for his assertion that “middle of the road” leads to socialism in the end. As the federal government swallows increasing amounts of the economy, we see that Mises was right.

Government intervention is everywhere, but it is most evident in education.
