Real Dissent

Real Dissent: A Libertarian Sets Fire to the Index Card of Allowable Opinion is a collection of more than fifty essays by Thomas E. Woods Jr. in which he confronts critics of libertarianism and attacks widely accepted views on war, economics, central banking, and political authority.

Drawing on over a decade of his polemical and scholarly writing, Woods organizes the pieces into thematic sections on topics such as foreign policy, the market economy, the Federal Reserve, nullification, and the left–right political spectrum, aiming to show that libertarian ideas lie far outside the narrow range of positions typically considered respectable in mainstream debate.
