Left and Right: The Prospects for Liberty | by Murray N. Rothbard

Originally appearing in "Left and Right: A Journal of Libertarian Thought" (Spring 1965, pp. 4-22), this article is occasioned by the startlingly uncritical attitude American conservatives have shown toward the consolidation of state power that has been unleashed since the atrocities of September 11, 2001.

Rothbard (1926-1995) was America's greatest radical libertarian author -- writing authoritatively about ethics, philosophy, economics, American history, and the history of ideas. He presented the most fundamental challenge to the legitimacy of government, and he refined thinking about the self-ownership and non-coercion principles.Links to selected online writings by Murray Rothbard:Man, Economy, and State: A Treatise on Economicshttp://tinyurl.com/y8zg569hAudio version: http://tinyurl.com/axhdzg3For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifestohttp://tinyurl.com/qgt9xqfAudio version: http://tinyurl.com/ph9k2zuThe Ethics of Libertyhttp://tinyurl.com/pekmz3jAudio version: http://tinyurl.com/pwt6pzzEconomic Thought Before Adam Smith: An Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought, Vol. Ihttp://tinyurl.com/ngqzfupAudio version: http://tinyurl.com/a3obfguClassical Economics: An Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought, Vol. IIhttp://tinyurl.com/np6a898Audio version: http://tinyurl.com/bd44b6sThe Case Against the Fedhttp://tinyurl.com/qbr9twjAudio version: http://tinyurl.com/na9ds33What Has Government Done to Our Money?http://tinyurl.com/p3mkr6zAudio version: http://tinyurl.com/pku6eypA History of Money and Banking in the United Stateshttp://tinyurl.com/ot23t9pAudio version: http://tinyurl.com/o8xj73sThe Progressive Erahttp://tinyurl.com/ydhn5aobAudio version: http://tinyurl.com/wd53r7vThe Betrayal of the American Righthttp://tinyurl.com/r33fgptAudio version: http://tinyurl.com/yx6vjudzConceived in Liberty, Vol. 1: A New Land, A New People: The American Colonies in the Seventeenth Centuryhttp://tinyurl.com/prrc32pAudio version: http://tinyurl.com/nhv65atConceived in Liberty, Vol. 2: "Salutary Neglect": The American Colonies in the First Half of the Eighteenth Centuryhttp://tinyurl.com/nh8bst5Audio version: http://tinyurl.com/pdo4xupConceived in Liberty, Vol. 3: Advance to Revolution, 1760-1775http://tinyurl.com/qj9dfhmAudio version: http://tinyurl.com/q5kw4keConceived in Liberty, Vol. 4: The Revolutionary War, 1775-1784http://tinyurl.com/pkhlb2pAudio version: http://tinyurl.com/ns5gkuvConceived in Liberty, Vol. 5: The New Republic: 1784–1791http://tinyurl.com/tuel93cAudio version: http://tinyurl.com/qtlup2hLudwig von Mises: Scholar, Creator, Herohttp://tinyurl.com/obyk7ypAnatomy of the Statehttp://tinyurl.com/odvnhycEconomic Depressions: Their Cause and Curehttp://tinyurl.com/ogo5ku2Education: Free and Compulsoryhttp://tinyurl.com/wb7gsfyScience, Technology, and Governmenthttp://tinyurl.com/uz24qlhTen Great Economic Mythshttp://tinyurl.com/nnr9dh9The Economics of Warhttp://tinyurl.com/otzpgctKingdom Come: The Politics of the Millenniumhttp://tinyurl.com/nhps5voEgalitarianism as a Revolt Against Naturehttp://tinyurl.com/oqxsjl3Murray N.
