The Case for Revisionism (and Against A Priori History)
The task of the libertarian intellectual is not limited to political and economic theory, as this neglected essay by Murray Rothbard argues. It extends also to understanding history, not from the point of view of the state and the ruling class, or from a priori theorizing, but from looking at the raw facts of the case. Doing so yields results different from prevailing opinion, and has hence been called revisionism by both its detractors and supporters.

This, unfortunately, is dangerously naive. Just because you're good at business doesn't mean you'll be good at politics. There are two very different skill sets involved.
