What is Rothbard Vs The Philosophers about?

Here is Rothbard's stunning mind at work on some of the most serious topics in philosophy, economics, and politics, originally crafted as private memos. The advantage here is that you get very candid evaluations of the thought of the giants while avoiding the apparatus of formal papers. The result is more like a series of expansive letters to the reader rather than a collection drawn from a scholarly journal. These important essays have never been published before. In fact, they were not written for publication. They were written on assignment by a foundation that employed Rothbard to read and review books. In many ways, then, the tone is unguarded, even reckless in a wonderful way, but this serves the reader's advantage. The payoff here is that you get both Rothbard's perspective and a clear look at the thoughts of Karl Polanyi, F.A. Hayek, Leo Strauss, Ludwig von Mises, and other great thinkers of his time. Some of his judgments are surprising. His initial review of Hayek's Constitution of Liberty, for example, is brutal in its criticism. But once the book came out, Rothbard moderated his opinion and called the book extremely important. Both essays appear herein. The same is true
