I hate to admit this but I’m familiar with neither Rothbard nor Woods.

Me neither but I know Mark Levin. Henceforth, I deem them dunderheads.

I highly recommend Tom Woods - he's written multiple NYT best sellers and is excellent on economic history. Take a look at his site and watch all the videos you can find on there, they are enjoyable and eye-opening... http://www.tomwoods.com .

Murray Rothbard is one of the most brilliant men our country has ever produced. If you can make it through all 1200 pages or so,”Man, Economy and State” will teach you all you need to know about economics.

Having said that, he was utterly blind to the simple fact that his version of anarchocapitalism ONLY works in a world in which is universally accepted - an unlikely proposition to say the least.

I Love Mark Levin, but notwithstanding Rothbrd’s blind spot mentioned above, if he ripped Rothbard on economics, he’s treading on thin ice.
