Description	Firstly, the author of this article provides the reader with an approach of professor Rothbard (the principal theorist of Austrian Economics) to human rights, especially to freedom of speech. Secondly, the author emphasizes the Rothbards assertion that the concept of human rights is ambiguous unless understood in terms of property rights.

Last but not least, he outlines the economic aspects or human rights.
