Libertarian legal theorist, retired patent attorney, and one of the most cited voices in the anarcho-capitalist tradition. Author of Against Intellectual Property. Former Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute.
Mark Edgington invites libertarian legal theorist and retired patent attorney Stephan Kinsella to unpack the stunning April 1st memo from the Mises Institute announcing that Hans-Hermann Hoppe — their longtime Distinguished Senior Fellow and arguably the most important living Rothbardian — is no longer affiliated with the Institute.
Kinsella walks through the backstory: his own 2013 resignation, the recent departures of three Mises presidents, a private memo Hoppe and Guido Hülsmann sent the board over governance issues, tensions surrounding Javier Milei, and the "Quo Vadis" essay that preceded Hoppe's termination.
Kinsella also previews the new book he and Hoppe co-edited celebrating Murray Rothbard's 100th birthday, the upcoming Rothbard celebration in Porto, Portugal (June 27), and the Property and Freedom Society meeting in September.
