“If the Occupy movement bears the mantle of one form of anti-statist, anti-capitalist school of anarchism that stretches back to the anarcho-syndicalism of Proudhon and Sorel, many of the bankers seem driven by an alternative stream of anarchism, what Murray Rothbard, a student of Ludwig von Mises - the grandfather of neo-liberalism - called ‘anarcho-capitalism’. This stream is equally anti-statist but pro-capitalist.” Luke Bretherton: The Real Battle of St Paul Cathedral: The Occupy Movement and Millennial Politics
