21–22. Twelve percent of respondents identifi ed as followers of Ludwig von Mises, a<br />
fi gure that likely indicates familiarity with the work of either Rand or Rothbard, the<br />
two most consistent promoters of the obscure economist. Taken together, the “poll” put<br />
Objectivist-libertarians at about 22 percent of YAF membership. “Keep a Good thing<br />

rendition draws. I have also relied on documentary sources, as cited. See Tuccille, Radical<br />

20. Other goals included electing more libertarians to positions of power, establishing<br />
a permanent network of libertarian communications within the organization, and<br />
ensuring that all YAF members were educated about laissez-faire capitalism. “Libertarian<br />
Caucus: Credo,” undated, YAF: 1969 Convention, Box 24, Evers Papers.<br />
21. In 1970 the National Board passed a resolution including anarchy on a list of<br />
forbidden doctrines in YAF.<br />
