Ryan McMaken takes a look at Rothbard’s seminal 1963 essay “War, Peace, and the State.” We find that Rothbard was no pacifist, but supported defensive violence against aggressors. Rothbard also maintains war must be limited by respect for neutrals, and avoidance of weapons that target innocent non-combatants.
