Education in Mises, Hayek and Rothbard: fundaments for extreme privatization

Abstract

The paper addresses the scope of privatization in education on Mises, Hayek and Rothbard views, considering its concepts of State, market and individual. The authors providing grounds for questioning compulsory and public education as well as the use of taxes to finance it. They treat public education as indoctrination, identifying formal education as a private decision of the family or, at most, a service provided by the market, refusing education as a right.
