Wow. So, he teaches libertarianism more as a critic? (nm) - ummmm MU - 2/2 13:55:22

Do you agree or disagree with what Rothbard asserts in that - JeffB MU

- 2/2 13:52:10

No, not really. (nm) - ummmm MU - 2/2 13:54:25

So you think Rothbard is wrong in that passage? (nm) - JeffB MU

- 2/2 13:57:07

I don't agree with him. - ummmm MU - 2/2 14:00:30
