Letter from Howard Buffett to Rothbard

Letter from Howard Buffett to Rothbard

Warren Buffet's father Howard was a great member of the Old Right.  From the Rothbard archives, here at LvMI, here is a letter from Howard to Rothbard. Robert Wenzel has a great analysis of this:

Warren Buffett's Father Tried to Teach Warren About Austrian Business Cycle Theory: I wonder what went wrong...  Note the second to last paragraph where Howard Buffet writes: 'Somewhere I had read that you wrote a book on the "Panic of 1819". If this is correct, I would like to know where I can buy a copy of it. I have a son who is a particularly avid reader of books about panics and similar phenomenon. I would like to present him with the book referred to.'

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
