Após anos de estudos para compreender o próprio comportamento, a pesquisadora e psicóloga Elaine N. Aron se tornou pioneira ao identificar a alta sensibilidade como um traço de personalidade inato - muitas vezes confundido com fraqueza, timidez ou mesmo “frescura”.

Em A Anatomia do Estado, Rothbard consolida tudo o que aprendeu com as tradições misesiana, liberal e anarcocapitalista.
