I love Murray Rothbard (may he RIP). He has a wicked sense of humour and there's something about his voice... the not quite gravely quality to it is quite pleasing to my ears. The image of a man so completely opposed to the system that is evolving around him, a man who with his words has struggled against this system his entire life evoke sympathy with anyone who identifies with the underdog.
The notion of a cabal of individuals taking over the world is a standard staple of conspiracy theorists but apparently, in some large part, it happened.
The talk itself is typical of what I have seen of Rothbards lectures. With an outstanding command of history and a brilliant understanding of the true motives of men, Rothbard outlines the circumstances that brought into effect the Federal Reserve.
