This month marks the 15th anniversary of the death of Murray Rothbard, arguably the most important libertarian theorist of the twentieth century. Although I only met him once in person, his work was influential in developing my “calling” in a number of ways, and the way he approached his scholarly and activist work for libertarianism over his life provides a number of lessons for advancing our own callings and the freedom movement more broadly.
Put simply, I don’t think I would be where I am today without Rothbard’s work. – Steven Horwitz, Charles A. Dana Professor of Economics at St. Lawrence University
