Franz Oppenheimer (while not a libertarian), the sociologist, basically inspired modern libertarianism. I'm fairly confident that without Oppenheimer, there would have been no Albert Jay Nock, and thus no Murray Rothbard.

Critical Review has libertarian-ish sociology, mostly relating to political behavior.

Libertarianism and sociology

AnonLLF — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:57:26 GMT

has much work been done in the field of sociology from a libertarian or quasi libertarian perspective?

I know of robert nisbet- though he was a conservative and also charles murray -though he's hardly a consistent libertarian by any stretch.theres hoppe too -he's done a talk comparing different religion's effects on the economic beliefs in a culture but I can't really think of any others. some sociologists seem to be leftists.

oh and theirs james bartholemew who writes criticism of the welfare state in his the welfar state we're in.

Hoppe really needs to make those talks of his into full articles and build on them .I hope his work on the link between private property and family is finished soon too.I could only find a work in progress version.Looks good though.
