Entry: Libertarianism's Divergent Roads Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/libertarianisms_divergent_roads#29648 Post contents: Probelm with all these theories about Rothbard is the fact that if Rothbard knew the kind of people Cato/Koch people were all along, why did he work with them orginally? The real reason rothabrd was fired from Cato was he keep missing deadlines for a book and the whole Koch conspiracy theories are just a smoke screen. Just like his attacks on Bill Buckley. Rothabrd claims that Buckley was an evil statist in 1952 because of his Commenweal article YET as late as 1959, Rothbard was doing economic research on Buckley's book, "Up From Liberalism" If Buckley was a statist in 1952, why was Rothbard still working for such a man in 1959. Contrary to Raimondo's thesis, when it comes to Cato and Buckley, Rothbard had a temper(well know to throw people out of his NY apartment if they disagreed with him.. see Brian Doherty's book on "Radicals for Capitalism"), he could not bear to have people diagree with him on LP strategy and so he developed this whole Koch conspiracy that his minions and groupies peddle to this day.
