U.S. History

We continue celebrating the centennial of the birth of Murray Rothbard, one of the greatest economists of the 20th Century and the Dean of the Austrian School of Economics.

Rothbard’s views on nations by consent are once again in the limelight. Libertarians who ignore the nationality question and continue merrily defending free trade, free movement of workers, and open borders, oblivious to the concerns of increasing numbers of people, are unwise.

As we celebrate the Centennial of the birth of Murray Rothbard, we look at his commentary on the American Revolution, where it promoted liberty and where the creation of the Constitution became liberty’s roadblock.

The current US conflict with Iran has its roots in the CIA-backed coup in 1953, which removed a democratically-elected prime minister and replaced him with the Shah. The Shah’s government ultimately collapsed, leading to the current Islamic republic.

Modern historians are all about protecting their politically-correct narratives at all costs, and especially the cost of historical truths.

When the Massachusetts colony issued its own unredeemable paper money in 1690, it was with the promise that it would soon be redeemable in specie. Like all paper money issued by government, it lost value and the confidence of the people.
