HOPPE WITHOUT ROTHBARD?

How can you support Hoppe while castigating Rothbard?

It’s easy. Discount all the Continental and Cosmopolitan justificationary nonsense and you’re left with the solution to formal institutions that can replace monopoly bureaucracy.

I’m still not sure why all that justificationary nonsense is meaningful or necessary. Because it isn’t. But Hoppe’s solutions are solid.

Well, you some might argue that Hoppe got his ideas from Keuheldt-Leddihn, I don’t really see that. I see hoppe as the first to successfully use economic language to express ethics and institutions (politics and political economy) in consistent rational terms. And to construct formal institutions using those terms.

Besides. I think Rothbard was a disingenuous, dishonest bully, and I see hoppe as just the opposite.
