Conceived in Liberty, Volume 5: The New Republic Kindle Edition

Murray Rothbard was not just a remarkable economist and political thinker, but one of the best revisionist historians of the 20th Century.One of his greatest career accomplishments was Conceived in Liberty, a masterful analysis of the libertarian origins of the American Revolution and the founding of the United States. Written with his lens of "Liberty vs. Power", this book demonstrated both his brilliance and originality — deftly handling a huge amount of research including a vast array of hitherto unknown facts.Unfortunately, due to a tragic technological failing, the original print run of Conceived in Liberty only included the first four of a five-volume work. The fifth volume focusing on the adoption of the Constitution and the Washington Administration, sat dormant for decades as a complete, but handwritten, manuscript.Enter Patrick Newman.As a young Research Fellow at the Mises Institute, Patrick Newman has made incredible use of the Rothbard Archives here in Auburn, AL. Some of his early career achievements include unearthing an original chapter of Man, Economy, and State — providing a fascinating look at Rothbard's own growth as an economist — and editing The Progressive Era, another work focusing on a pivotal period of American history.While none of those projects compared to the work required to translate Murray's handwriting into a complete book project, it provided him with the tools he needed to get the job done. The result is the remarkable resurrection of what will become an important work in the libertarian historical canon.The Fifth Volume of Conceived in Liberty highlights the most important battle of the American project — one that continues to this day - the conflict between those that want to centralize power, and those that choose to stand to defend the American heritage of liberty. This book features a forward from Judge Andrew Napolitano, a preface by Dr. Thomas E. Woods, and an introduction from Dr. Patrick Newman.

5.0 out of 5 stars How the Revolution was (nearly) betrayed.
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2019
Verified Purchase
Much as I hated the story it revealed, I loved this book. In Rothbard's usual impeccable style, fully supported from original sources, this fifth volume of the series reveals how the leaders of the Revolution: Adams, Washington and especially Hamilton, tried to use the mandate to improve the Articles of Confederation to overturn it altogether and create an American version of a monarchy, replete with a king (President for life) and aristocracy. This palace coup was partially deflected by the stout resistance of some of the States whose delegates were true to the principles of the revolution: inherent liberties and a sovereign citizen. The royalists (federalists) were able to retain vague language (general welfare clause, supremacy clause, etc.) which the government has successfully used to expand its powers far beyond the limits the Revolution had been fought for. The last-minute addition of the poorly-named bill of rights (it should be the "thou shalt nots") is the only thing that has stood between the American people and utter tyranny for more than 200 years. This is a story that everybody should know, but one that the educational and political establishment would be happy that no one should know. Read all five volumes, please!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great indepth history of early United States

Like the rest of Conceived in Liberty, there is a lot of material here to understand activities in the US during the early history. Great read with lots of references if you want deeper insight, too. My Kindle version had no issues and I like the hyperlinks to references and footnotes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for learning true history
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2020
Verified Purchase
This is not the book for beginners who still worship federalists and the constitution. If you still feel like its the greatest document that was divinely written to bless this nation, you will probably write of Rothbard as a lunatic. But his research and facts in all his works are beyond reproach. So if you are ready to learn true history, and have a healthy amount of skepticism, this book will open your eyes to the shenanigans and misdeeds that were done in order to get the constitution ratified. Rothbard is known for his economics, but I think this is one of his greatest works.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Constitution, the cover up, and the end result.
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2020
Verified Purchase
This book is detailed, well written, and factual history. A must read for those who desire the truth concerning the Articles of Confederation, Constitution of 1787, debates, and how many of the Federalists relied on propaganda to institute an eventual national government which is antithetical to the principles of limited government.

A brilliant account of how civil liberties were curtailed from the very outset of our country’s forming by our founding fathers in favor of a strong, elitist central government.

It was a great book. Perhaps not quite up to the standards of his previous works, but then the author couldn't make any revisions due to having died, so cut the man some slack. A unique take on the history of the period that is not to be found elsewhere!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!
Reviewed in Germany on October 17, 2020

This book rounds up the whole conceived in liberty series perfectly! Although one can easily read it if one hasn‘t read part I-IV. The only slight critique is that this version printed by amazon is not the same height as the hardcover version I-IV printed by the Mises Institute.
