Rothbard’s Revisionism
A transcript of the Lew Rockwell Show episode 332 with David Gordon at the 30th anniversary of the Mises Institute talking about Murray Rothbard and revisionist history.
August 12, 2013
ROCKWELL: Recently, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Mises Institute and Dr. David Gordon, who is editor of the Mises Review, a senior fellow of the Institute, talked to us about Murray Rothbard and revisionist history.
GORDON: It’s great to be here speaking about Murray Rothbard because Murray Rothbard was the person who influenced my thinking on political and economic questions more than anybody else ever since I first read Man, Economy, and State 50 years ago. And I’m also delighted to be here at the Mises Institute because the Mises Institute, and especially its founder, Lew Rockwell, have supported my work over many years.
I want to talk today about Murray Rothbard and revisionism. We want to ask the question: Why was Rothbard interested in revisionism? As you know, Rothbard is a Libertarian who was, of course, very strongly opposed to war because, in wars, there are massive aggressions violations of peoples’ rights and also war is a great promoter of the power of the state. Remember, Tom DiLorenzo talk yesterday, he mentioned Randolph Bourne’s famous essay, War is the Health of the State. We know from Robert Higgs’ great work, Crisis and Leviathan, and other works of his on how state power has grown through war.
So where does revisionism come in?
