Burton S. Blumert (/ˈbluːmərt/; February 11, 1929 – March 30, 2009) was the president of the Center for Libertarian Studies in Burlingame, California, co-founder[2] and chairman of the Mises Institute, and the publisher of LewRockwell.com. In a career that spanned almost 50 years until his retirement in 2008, he bought and sold precious metals as the proprietor of Camino Coin Company.
From 1959 until 2008, Blumert operated the Camino Coin Company, dealing in bullion and coins. Upon retirement he gave the company to a long-time employee.[5] After retiring, Blumert remained an active discussant of commodities topics in the media.[6]
In a 2008 interview he credited his experience in the coin industry as spurring him to adopt a libertarian political philosophy and to support fellow gold advocate Ron Paul.[5] In 1988, Blumert was chairman of Ron Paul's first presidential campaign.[8] Blumert was a close friend and supporter of the late Murray Rothbard,[9] with whom he founded the Center for Libertarian Studies in 1975. As president of the Center for Libertarian Studies, Blumert published the Journal of Libertarian Studies, the Austrian Economics Newsletter, and the Rothbard-Rockwell Report.[10] Blumert served as chairman of the Ludwig von Mises Institute and was publisher of LewRockwell.com (LRC).[4]
