Murray N. Rothbard
Murray Newton Rothbard was a prominent American economist, historian, and political theorist who played a crucial role in shaping modern libertarianism.
As a leading figure in the Austrian School of economics, Rothbard advocated for free-market principles and individual liberty.
He expanded on the ideas of Ludwig von Mises, developing the concept of "anarcho-capitalism," which combines Austrian economics with individualist anarchism.
Rothbard's influential works, including "Man, Economy, and State," contributed significantly to libertarian thought.
He was instrumental in founding the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, in the 1970s.
Rothbard's ideas continue to impact economic and political discussions, particularly among those who favor limited government intervention and free-market solutions.
