Introduction to the 1995 Edition

Wall Street, Banks, and American Foreign Policy

09/03/2026 Justin Raimondo

Justin Raimondo places the essay in Rothbard’s career, showing how methodological individualism and the Austrian analysis of banking combine into a history of the American elite. He draws out the Nock, Flynn, and Chodorov insight at its center: the biggest capitalists have been the deadliest enemies of capitalism.

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
