Rothbard at 100

Today, March 2, would have been Murray Rothbard’s 100th Birthday. Rothbard’s most important intellectual heir, Hans-Hermann Hoppe, has published on his Property and Freedom Society Web site a tribute to this great man with twenty new essays by people who knew him, admired him, and were inspired by him. The book is online and will soon be available as a real book.

Hans Hoppe is widely regarded all over the world as Murray Rothbard’s most important intellectual heir and his closest disciple. He was a close collaborator, economics department colleague at UNLV, and great friend in Rothbard’s later years. Hans called his mentor “the greatest social theorist of the 20th century.” He extended Rothbard’s anarcho-capitalism significantly with his hallmark book Democracy: The God That Failed. Nothing else comes close.
