Celebrating anniversaries for the Austrian School of economics.

Fifty years ago, Murray Rothbard took his own place in the ranks of creative geniuses, and inaugurated the modern Austrian movement with his great treatise Man, Economy, and State. And thirty years ago, Lew Rockwell, with the help of Margit von Mises, Murray Rothbard, F.A. Hayek, Henry Hazlitt, Ron Paul, and heroic donors, created the first institution solely dedicated to Austrian economics, the Ludwig von Mises Institute.
