Murray Rothbard was born on March 2, 1926 and died on January 7, 1995.\u00a0 I had the great honor of having Rothbard on my dissertation committee when I was a Ph.D. student at Rutgers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In fact, I owe Rothbard a huge thank you because my dissertation topic jumped out at me when I read his 900-page economic treatise, Man, Economy, and State. <\/a>\u00a0<\/em>He described how new money enters an economy and then \u201cdiffuses\u201d throughout a country.\u00a0 My dissertation on the \u201cgeography of inflation\u201d highlighted how price inflation is uneven around the country because of the diffusion of new money.<\/p>\n
