re: Don’t Read Rothbard

Lew, the corporate censorship of libertarian/free-market ideas like the writings of Rothbard remind me of something our friend Yuri Maltsev once said:  In the Soviet Union there was a seven-year prison sentence facing anyone caught with books like Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom, which Yuri says he read in mimeograph form and than passed it on like a hot potato so that he couldn’t get caught with it.  We’re not quite there yet, but I have no doubt at all that the Hillary Clintons of the world would not hesitate to imprison those thinking politically-incorrect thoughts if they thought they could get away with it.  They would have the entire PC university establishment, Hollywood, the magazine culture, and the “mainstream media” behind them in doing this.
