The Libertarian Forum

By

April 18, 2013

This newsletter, published from 1969–1984, was edited and mostly written by Murray N. Rothbard (all unattributed articles are by him). It contains some of his most fascinating writing on politics, freedom, history, war, the libertarian movement, and the movies ("Mr. First Nighter"). Thanks to Walter Block and the Mises Institute for making this archive possible.
