Commentary

My friend Murray N. Rothbard, easily ranked as the leading and most productive libertarian scholar of the second half of the 20th century, would have been 100 years old on March 2. It is said he died too soon and surely those who knew him feel that often. That said, he produced more writing and scholarship in his life than hundreds of other great scholars combined. His library, which will likely never come out in collected works, amounts to a lifetime of reading.
