Rothbard, "Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature"

For well over a decade, libertarians all across the country have been looking through the archives like medieval monks searching out one or another of Murray Rothbard’s numerous articles in this or that often obscure—journal. To compile all of this amazingly prolific scholar’s articles, essays and reviews would be a multi-volume task, for his range of interests and knowledge is truly astounding.

Dr. Rothbard is best known for his work in economics and history, and therefore strangely enough he is least appreciated in areas where he has done some of his most cogent and seminal work, i.e., in the area of social philosophy and social commentary. The publication of For a New Liberty has helped considerably in acquainting libertarians with the consistency and eloquence of his point of view. With the publication of Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature, however, readers will be able to go directly to the important foundations upon which the Rothbardian edifice has been built. There are very few ideas which are as important and more in need of circulation than the ideas of Professor Rothbard. This book—when combined with For a New Liberty—will take the reader far into the depths of the evolutionary process of the brilliant mind of this great libertarian.
