Who got to meet Mises, Rothbard, Hayek?

Go to Mark Thornton and then to the last paragraph on pg 27 about the man on the street interview.

Does anyone have a copy of that interview?

On this, while at Mises University i begged Lew Roockwell and Doug French to survey those who personally knew Murray Rothbard for personal stories and memories befor some of them pass away. The next biographer would be at a loss if such information wasn’t collected. I just found out from J Tucker that the Mises Insitute is indeed pursusing this…so happy!!

GTK! Thanks!

Whats odd is that Rothbard once said the Ayn Rand depressed him, later when he renewed their friendship he actually told her something to the nature of he felt a humbling awe in her presence.

if I ever got to meet Hayek, I would ask him what he thought of Stiglitz extension of his work on information in economics (i think he would be pretty proud).

i would also ask him why he essentially gave up econ halfway through his career

“HOW DID HE DO THAT?! I don’t buy it. I remember Walter Block saying he could write 24 pages a day (ARGH!). If he had an apartment so full of books, writing basically a novel a day. I don’t buy, even at 4 hours a day I don’t see how it could be done. Or even to have that level of focus for 4 hours. ARGH.”

Well, it doesn’t mean 24 good pages. :stuck_out_tongue: I don’t write nearly that much, and I know I throw away half of what I write.

I mean, if he really wrote 24 pages per day, thats over 6,000 pages per year if he took weekends off. That’s probably more than he published in his lifetime. :wink: So don’t feel that bad.
