Making Economic Sense by Murray N. Rothbard Ludvig Von Mises Institute , 1995 The academic contributions of Murray N. Rothbard (1926-1995) are legion, but he also had a passion for public persuasion. A free society canonly be sustained if the general public is aware of the vital importance ofthe market and the terrible consequences of statism. That’s why Rothbardhoped to convince everyone about the virtues of the free economy. For Rothbard, educating the public was strategically necessary and morallyobligatory. It was also lots of fun. Read Online Download (Pdf, 4.8MB) Book Description A hefty tome by this master economist. Here he is communicating with the public about economic theory and policy. No economist has ever written so clearly about subjects usually wrapped in mystery. Even when discussing exchange rates, interest rates, and central banking, Rothbard is clear and persuasive. That's what makes this book so wonderful, and so dangerous to the purveyors of economic fallacy and those who enforce their ideas on the public. This wonderfully lucid work could become the next Economics in One Lesson. About the Author Murray N. Rothbard (1926-1995) distinguished himself as an economist, writing a major treatise on theory, several important economic histories, and a highly praised history of economic thought. But he was also known as the pioneer thinker of libertarianism, the political philosophy that roots freedom in private property ownership and decries the state as inherently contrary to the ethics of a free society. Writing from this perspective, he gained a reputation as the most provocative and influential contributor to the anarchist tradition in our century.
