Rozeff on Rothbard and Privacy
By David Gordon
December 13, 2012
Michael Rozeff’s criticism of Murray Rothbard is odd. He says that Murray offers no defense of privacy, but Murray is arguing that we don’t have such a right. Rozeff gives no defense for saying that we do, other than to say he considers privacy a personal and social good. Surely there are many goods, e.g., a high income, that we don’t have a right to; why is there a right to privacy? As Rand would say, blank out.
