Mr. Libertarian live!

Or at least so says Lew Rockwell in the foreword to the new edition of "Towards a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto."

" There Are Many Varieties of libertarianism alive in the world today, But Remains Rothbardianism the center of intellectual gravity STI, STI primary muse and conscience, its strategic and moral core, and the focal point of debate even when its name is not acknowledged. The reason is that Murray Rothbard was the creator of modern libertarianism, a political-ideological system that proposes a once-and-for-all escape from the trappings of left and right and their central plans for how state power should be used. Libertarianism is the radical alternative that says state power is unworkable and immoral. "Mr. Libertarian," Murray N. Rothbard was called, and "The State's Greatest Living Enemy." He remains so".

Ciertamente el rothbardianismo is more alive than ever, even if some leftist Rothbardians not create much in its strategy for freedom, as in the core of the theory. It is easy to overlook the contradiction means-ends of the political reform.

Lew also said - based on the conventional definition of the "left" and that given the confusion, the definition of socialism of the Austrian school - the modern libertarianism did not originate as anti-left, but also as a reaction to the American conservative planning (including, inexplicably especially idolized Ronald Reagan):

• "modern libertarianism was born not in reaction to socialism or leftism – though it is certainly anti-leftist (as the term is commonly understood) and antisocialist. Rather, libertarianism in the American historical context came into being in response to the statism of conservatism and its selective celebration of a conservative-style central planning. American conservatives may not adore the welfare state or excessive business regulation but they appreciate power exercised in the name of nationalism, warfarism, "pro-family" policies, and invasion of personal liberty and privacy. In the post-LBJ period of American history, it has-been Republican presidents more Democratic Than Ones Who Have Been responsible for the largest Expansions of executive and judicial power. It WAS pure liberty to defend Against the Commitments and corruptions of conservatism - beginning with Nixon and Reagan But Continuing with the Bush presidential - That inspired the birth of Rothbardian political economy. "

fact is today Rothbard fully present to the crisis of statism. Its greatest merit is to be able to combine several apparently conflicting traditions in favor of the cause of human freedom:

Yes, he had many predecessors from whom he drew: the whole of the classical-liberal tradition, the Austrian economists, the American antiwar tradition, and the natural-rights tradition. But it was he who put all these pieces together into a unified system that seems implausible at first but inevitable once it has been defined and defended by Rothbard. The individual pieces of the system are straightforward (self-ownership, strict property rights, free markets, anti-state in every conceivable respect) but the implications are earthshaking.
