Thank you for this AMA Professor Horwitz. As an avid reader and a huge fan of yours, can you convince me that Murray Rothbard was anything more than a loon or a charlatan?

As someone with a background in theoretical Economics and history of the Economic thought I can't really help it. Everytime it feels like he's just knowingly telling lies about what "mainstream economists" believe. EDIT: that, and the sectarian way of thinking i. e. anyone from JS Mill to Milton Friedman is a "socialist".

Thank you

What do you think about Acemoglu's & Robinson's quantitative research on Institutions and/or their opus, Why Nations Fail?
