So, what do you guys think of the late (and in my opinion, great) Murray N. Rothbard? For those who haven't heard of him, a great book is An Enemy of the State: The Life of Murray N. Rothbard by Justin Raimondo (who runs the website www.antiwar.com, a libertarian antiwar site), plus several articles by him and about him can be read at www.lewrockwell.com.

Highly overrated. His dream ignored the reality of capitalism and fell victim to the number one criticism of socialism (it looked good on paper but would never work in real life, as a number of historical events show).
