No, Mises Was Not a Neocon

It is of great comfort to us who share an antiquarian passion for the history of political thought that fundamental questions such as, "What is the state?" invariably come to the surface. But sometimes you get the impression that new interpretations focus more on the "political" than on the "thought." I'm referring to a long opinion piece published by Yoram Hazony in The Wall Street Journal. From his byline, we know that Mr. Hazony, President of the Jerusalem-based Herzl Institute, is publishing a book entitled The Virtue of Nationalism.
