Murray Newton Rothbard (March 2, 1926 – January 7, 1995) was an American economist and writer. He helped make the Austrian School of economics popular in the United States.
Rothbard helped to create modern libertarianism, a political belief in less government and more personal freedom. He founded a form of free-market anarchism which he called "anarcho-capitalism".[1][2] Rothbard believed society should organise itself, and he didn't like central planning.[3]
Rothbard wrote over twenty books and was an important central figure in the American libertarian movement.[4]
