Murray Newton Rothbard (March 2, 1926 – January 7, 1995) was a far-right Austrian economist. He was a follower of Ludwig von Mises and a friend of Ayn Rand. He supported segregation and the KKK member David Duke[1] and wanted to legalize the sale of children.[2]
In 1992, Rothbard released a program calling for the abolition of welfare and civil rights laws. Despite claiming to be a libertarian, he wanted to unleash the police against homeless people and allow them "to administer instant punishment."[3]

He may give the child out for adoption, or he may sell the rights to the child in a voluntary contract. In short, we must face the fact that the purely free society will have a flourishing free market in children.”
