Solid interview. Always love getting some Austrian history! Especially interesting because Rizzo actually ventured into “enemy territory” (in Chicago) and escaped unscathed.
I wonder what impact the personality of e.g. a Milton Friedman and the very aggressive Chicago colloquium style vs. Rothbard’s or Mises’ more friendly style have had on the schools.
