10 Historical Myths Most Historians Still Believe! Sal the Agorist and Keith Knight

by | Oct 12, 2020

 

 

Looking at facts without the guidance of theory in their selection is virtually impossible.

Murray N. Rothbard
Classical Economics, p. 120

 

… I see history as centrally a race and conflict between “social power” — the productive consequence of voluntary interactions among men — and state power. In those eras of history when liberty — social power — has managed to race ahead of state power and control, the country and even mankind have flourished. In those eras when state power has managed to catch up with or surpass social power, mankind suffers and declines.

Murray N. Rothbard

Conceived in Liberty v. 1, p. 10; p. xvi
