And it's silly to say that Rand has "nothing in common" with Rothbard. Just because Paul is more pragmatic than many other libertarians, and perhaps more moderate in his principles as well, doesn't mean he isn't profoundly influenced by Rothbard.



Rand doesn't have anything in common with Rothbard.

And Rothbard's whole criticism comes from being pragmatic (Working with the New Left in the 60s and the Paleocons in the 90s, supporting H.W. Bush for president, et cetra).

Since when does having an intellectual influence mean you have to follow someone like holy scripture?

quote:

Rand Paul describes Mr. Rothbard in his first book as “a great influence on my thinking” when he was a young man.
