Recent Twitter Love for DiLorenzo and Kinsella: Fran Morales

In the anarcho-capitalist and Austrian world, people talk about Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Murray Rothbard, or Ludwig von Mises, and that’s fine, but the name of Thomas DiLorenzo is systematically relegated. It’s no coincidence.

Also a Kinsella fan:

While many “libertarians” play politics or repeat slogans, Stephan Kinsella did something more uncomfortable: he dismantled the false foundations of the system from legal theory. If you haven’t read him, you’re just on autopilot.

See also recent commentary on Hoppe: Mises Institute: Quo Vadis?, by Bretigne Shaffer, “This Breaks My Heart: Is the Mises Institute built on a shaky foundation?“, On the Banks (Mar 26, 2026).

Incidentally, Bretigne is Butler Shaffer‘s daughter. Butler was heroically opposed to IP. See Shaffer, A Libertarian Critique of Intellectual PropertyKOL238 | Libertopia 2012 IP Panel with Charles Johnson and Butler Shaffer. Good, but weaker than David Gordon claims; I think Gordon was promoting it for … other reasons. See David Gordon on IP. More on this later.
