Happy Birthday, Murray

Sometimes a missed birthday can be more poignant than the anniversary of a death. It's not that 80 seems young, exactly, but observing the 80th birthday over a decade after someone's passed away sure makes it seem like he went too soon.

Rothbard's Birth Anniversary Observed Today

3/2/2006

On this day 80 years ago was born Murray N. Rothbard, one of the great champions of individual freedom, the free market, and Austrian economics. A student of Ludwig von Mises and an early associate of FEE, Rothbard, who died in 1995, produced a huge volume of work on economics, history, political theory, political commentary, and the history of economic thought. His spirited writings influenced a generation of freedom's advocates and will influence future generations as well.
