All my work flows from a single truth: liberty is the highest political end. In Man, Economy, and State, I laid the foundations of Austrian economics from axiomatic human action. Power and Market revealed the insidious distortions wrought by state intervention. For a New Liberty was my call to dismantle the state entirely...voluntary exchange and private property suffice for order. The state, as I showed in Anatomy of the State, is not a social contract, but a parasitic aggressor. Whether in history, ethics, or economics, my aim has always been clear: to unmask power, and vindicate liberty. -Murray N Rothbard
