23 JUN 2026 · Ryan McMaken reviews a new book on the political institutions of the Middle Ages, 'The Medieval Constitution of Liberty: Political Foundations of Liberalism in the West.' We find that it is in the Middle Ages that we find the origins of modern notions of political freedom, representative government, political decentralization, and limits on state powers. In practice, the politics of the "Renaissance" and the "Enlightenment" were steps in the wrong direction.Be sure to follow Radio Rothbard at https://mises.org/RadioRothbardRadio Rothbard mugs are available at the Mises Store.

18 MAY 2026 · Ryan McMaken takes a look at Rothbard's seminal 1963 essay "War, Peace, and the State." We find that Rothbard was no pacifist, but supported defensive violence against aggressors. Rothbard also maintains war must be limited by respect for neutrals, and avoidance of weapons that target innocent non-combatants.
