Personal Background

Frank Chodorov graduated from Columbia University and was influenced by Henry George's economic theories. He spent several years in Chicago before becoming director of the Henry George School of Social Science, where he edited *The Freeman*. Ousted from the school due to his antiwar views during World War II, he launched *analysis*, a monthly broadsheet. Chodorov founded the Intercollegiate Society of Individualists, the first national conservative student organization, and later became editor of *The Freeman* under the Foundation for Economic Education.

Political Ideas

Frank Chodorov's political philosophy is marked by a staunch advocacy for individualistic economic principles and noninterventionist foreign policy, which often placed him at odds with mainstream conservative thought. His ideological agility is evident in his unexpected convergence with opposing factions on environmental regulations, revealing a strategic approach to regional economic interests. Chodorov's rhetorical style is deeply rooted in classical liberal thought, consistently opposing government intervention in both domestic and international affairs. His unique positioning becomes particularly intriguing when considering his influence on both libertarian and conservative leaders, despite his antiwar stance during World War II, which led to his ousting from the Henry George School.
