In the summer of 2005 I traveled to Thomas Szasz's home in Manlius, New York, and videoed an interview with the great critic of coercive psychiatry and the "therapeutic state."

Thank you for posting this, Sheldon - amazing interview!
I'm so glad I got to do it!
There is an excellent Rothbard speech delivered at a symposium in honor of Szasz back in 1980. Called "Psychoanalysis as a Weapon it is quite remarkable. Rothbard got a few points in about how muslims are portrayed in the mass media that are still timely. Also he makes some points about 19th century abolitionists that are relevant to some recent critiicisms of Rothbard too.
Thanks for the link!
