|Peter Boettke| March 2nd is Murray Rothbard's birthday. He would have been 90 today if his life wasn't cut tragically short.

In the hope that some readers of CP might take a few moments to read some Rothbard today -- my favorite widely accessible book is For a New Liberty, but economists should read Man, Economy and State; Power and Market -- I am providing links to 2 older posts of mine on why folks should read Rothbard, and also my own intellectual relationship with Rothbard.

Boettke as a Rothbardian

Why Study Man, Economy and State

So let me just say, take some time today young Austrian economists and celebrate Rothbard's work -- you (or any of us) would not be where we can be as academic economists today where it not from Rothbard's amazing work in galvanizing a modern Austrian school of economics.
