Curt on Rothbard
The most consice criticism I’ve heard yet:
MORAL OBLIGATION TO SUPPRESS ROTHBARDIAN PSEUDOSCIENCE
(from elsewhere)
If you don’t claim economics isn’t an empirical science, and that praxeology isn’t a loose statement of operationalism, that apriorisitc reasoning produces apolitically certain premises, that rights ‘exist’ without a consensual contract, that the NAP is sufficient for the formation of a voluntary polity, or that rothbardian ethics are either objectively ethical, or capable of producing an anarchic polity, then that’s good enough for me.
Just doing my job trying to rescue liberty from the lunatic fringe.
Some things are too serious to leave to crypto-marxists.
Cheers.
