The Spring 2024 issue ([link removed]) of The Independent Review is hot off the presses!

In this issue...

Economist Murray Rothbard described the state as “a criminal band,” a parasitical enemy plotting always to exploit the people. But if that’s true, what’s supposed to take its place? Surely not markets…??

But how do we get from here—a status quo increasingly at odds with liberty—to there?

The Independent Review is proud to present this hard-hitting symposium on one of the greatest economists of the last century and his classic work For a New Liberty ([link removed]) , which, fifty years on, is as timeless, energetic, and engrossing as ever. In these pages, readers will discover the insight, depth, radicalism—and even some surprising weak points of Rothbard’s philosophy. Central to the entire symposium is a call to action, a road map to a freer, fairer marketplace and less intrusive, less hostile government.
