Lanny Friedlander, RIP

Here’s Justin Raimondo on his memories of the late Lanny Friedlander, the Rothbardian founder of Reason magazine (since taken over by the anti-Rothbard Koch Bros.). In 1968, when Justin was corresponding with Lanny—whom I am sorry to say I never met—I was a libertarian, a senior editor at the conservative Arlington House, Publishers, working against the draft and the war on Vietnam, and serving as Mises’s editorial assistant. I had come up from Goldwaterism. Like Justin, I remain dedicated to Rothbardian libertarianism, which opposes war, government intervention in the economy, and government attacks on our civil liberties. Ron Paul upholds this vision today. Lanny, rest in peace. We carry on your fight.
