Man, Economy, and Liberty

In 1986, a remarkable party was held for Murray Rothbard's 60th birthday, and a Festschrift containing papers (both scholarly and humorous) written in his honor was presented to him. Two, years later, these wonderful essays were released under the title Man, Economy, and Liberty.

Sections on Rothbard's influence on the fields of economics, philosophy, political science, and history, and on the lives of those around him contain essays by Dominick T. Armentano, Roger A. Arnold, Walter Block, Gregory Christiansen, Roger W. Garrison, Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Israel Kirzner, Gary North, E.C. Pasour Jr., Ron Paul, Ellen Paul, Leland B. Yeager, Den Uyl, David Gordon, Tibor Machan, Jeffrey Paul, Randall G. Holcombe, David Osterfeld, Arthur A. Ekirch Jr., Ralph Raico, Sheldon Richman, Justus D. Doenecke, Robert Kephart and Dyanne Petersen, Neil McCaffre, JoAnn Rothbard, and Margit von Mises (yes, she was there!).

The scholarly pieces will be very useful for economics students, while the charming personal section will be of interest to those interested in a more intimate view of the great economist. Lew Rockwell and Walter Block provide a biographical introduction.
