1.0 out of 5 stars A definite case of genius-envy, March 3, 2000

By	Randall Ivey "Randall" (USA) - See all my reviews

The bulk of Bryant's "book" is a personal attack on Murray Rothbard. Bryant sees Rothbard as a libertarian icon who sold out to the paleoconservative movement But Rothbard was always consistent philosophically. He didn't leave the libertarian movement; the libertarian movement left him. He merely remained true to his principles as one of the great thinkers of the late 20th century.

Mr. Bryant's little diatribe does nothing to dispel that. It is a surreal, egocentric collection of blatherings and much more incomprehensible and unreadable than anything by Rothbard he criticizes.

Avoid.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Time, December 12, 1999

By A Customer

The main premise seems to be some libertarian icons were not practicing what they preach. Doesn't address their ideas just attacks the messenger. Reads like a gossip column
