Brief Bio Overview & VIDEO: How Murray Rothbard Became a Libertarian. A Father of the Movement Indeed. His Short Bio, as Told by Himself. ( 1h:33 mins)

in #freedom6 years ago


What a GREAT and fun watch and resource on the early days of this fellow who helped pioneer the Liberty movement.

I've been studying the subject deeper as I get time and I have really enjoyed learning about the early days, of everything surrounding things from the 50's onwards - who better to talk about it than literally a father of the liberty movement, who is a legend, honestly??!!

A prolific author and Austrian economist, Murray Rothbard promoted a form of free market anarchism he called "anarcho-capitalism."

In this talk, given at the 1981 National Libertarian Party Convention, Rothbard tells the story of how he came to learn about economics and libertarianism as he grew up in the Bronx and attended Columbia University in the 1930s and 40s. He reminisces about meeting Frank Chodorov, Baldy Harper, George Stigler and Ludwig von Mises, and takes a number of audience questions.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Rothbard

Murray Newton Rothbard (/ˈmɜːri ˈrɒθbɑːrd/; March 2, 1926 – January 7, 1995)

-- was a heterodox economist of the Austrian School,[1][2] a historian,[3][4] and a political theorist[5](pp11, 286, 380) whose writings and personal influence played a seminal role in the development of modern right-libertarianism.[6]

Rothbard was the founder and leading theoretician of anarcho-capitalism, a staunch advocate of historical revisionism, and a central figure in the twentieth-century American libertarian movement.

He wrote over twenty books on political theory, revisionist history, economics, and other subjects.[7]

Rothbard asserted that all services provided by the "monopoly system of the corporate state" could be provided more efficiently by the private sector and wrote that the state is "the organization of robbery systematized and writ large."[8][9][10][11][12][13]

He called fractional-reserve banking a form of fraud and opposed central banking.[14]

He categorically opposed all military, political, and economic interventionism in the affairs of other nations.[15][16]

According to his protégé Hans-Hermann Hoppe, "There would be no anarcho-capitalist movement to speak of without Rothbard."[17]

This is great! It's hard to spread knowledge about liberty, socialism is way easier for most dumb humans to understand... Liberty takes brains, vision (a few steps ahead) and courage because most sheep don't get and actually fight it. I know, I'm from Cuba, lived for 25 years surrounded by mindless zombies

That's a great reply and a great quote/clip from the Matrix to show the truth.

The LSS is this, I have been targeted by gov't and the police for speaking truth in public forums with my high profile activism and character here where I live. I want people to wake up.

I am paying a heavy price.

-- videos on my YT channel but they have buried search results for my name on my main channel.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Yeah, it's a great story!

Brian Doherty's book Radicals For Capitalism is full of similar stories.

Resteemed.

I had a real feeling if you saw this, you might approve.

I love the full Amazon descriptor of that book there, I opened that up, what a beaut:

"Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement Kindle Edition"

The guy that ran me over is named Doherty.

Likely not the same guy LOL

thnxxxx buddy fr sharing ur nic video.... just great....

LOL, nice spammy crap reply, and you have been flagged by a ton of people for it as I can clearly see with your rep score now.

Smarten up or leave the platform - if you don't want to build community or add value, just leave.

I am so sick of this crap all day long.
