Murray Rothbard

Murray Newton Rothbard war ein einflussreicher amerikanischer Historiker, Naturrechtstheoretiker und Ökonom der Österreichischen Schule, der zur Definition des modernen Libertarismus beitrug.

There were many cranky and contradictory remedies proposed, and Rothbard reviews each one. But in the end, there was no widespread confusion on what caused the downturn. Instead, it was widely known that a false prosperity is a very dangerous thing. It always turns to bust.
