A history of Murray N. Rothbard’s writing of Man, Economy, and State. It elucidates Rothbard’s many contributions to Austrian economics and the processes by which he developed an integrated structure of economic theory using the praxeological method. It shows that Rothbard is the most important heir of Ludwig von Mises.
The first volume of Cronyism explains the evolution of special interest policies from the colonial era to the mid-nineteenth century. Cronyism increased when supporters of power, such as the Hamiltonian Federalists and Whigs, controlled the government. Cronyism decreased when the libertarian Jeffersonian Republicans and Jacksonian Democrats seized the reins. However, the proponents of liberty eventually enacted their own crony policies because they succumbed to the corrupting influence of power.
