Book Description
For anyone who thinks of Murray Rothbard as only a economic theorist or political thinker, these four spectacular volumes are nothing short of shocking. They offer a complete history of the Colonial period of American history, a period lost to students today, who are led to believe American history begins with the US Constitution.
For anyone who thinks of Murray Rothbard as only a economic theorist or political thinker, these four spectacular volumes are nothing short of shocking. They offer a complete history of the Colonial period of American history, a period lost to students today, who are led to believe American history begins with the US Constitution.
Rothbard's ambition was to shed new light on Colonial history and show that the struggle for human liberty was the heart and soul of this land from its discovery through the culminating event of the American Revolution. These volumes are a tour de force, enough to establish Rothbard as one of the great American historians.
Although a detailed narrative history of the struggle between liberty and power, Rothbard offers a third alternative to the conventional interpretive devices. Against those on the right who see the American Revolution as a "conservative" event, and those on the left who want to invoke it as some sort of proto-socialist uprising, Rothbard views this period as a time of accelerating libertarian radicalism. Through this prism, Rothbard illuminates events as never before.
Volume One covers the discovery of the Americas and the colonies in the 17th century (531 pages, including index).
Volume Two covers the period of "salutary neglect" in the first half of the 18th century (294 pages, including index).
Volume Three covers the advance to revolution, from 1760-1775 (373 pages, including index).
Volume Four covers the political, military, and ideological history of the revolution and after (470 pages, including index).
