Episode notes

CNN's John Sutter is the author of a new book, "The Case for Conspiracy" He argues that people who think they are right about things but can't get it done aren't being tested. In this case, he says, Michael Gocker got his verdict because Teal supported him in court. But if not, there would have been no criminal enterprise or assassination attempt to try and stop Hogan from doing what he did: speak out against injustice.

Author Ryan Holiday discusses his book, Conspiracy, with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. This is a crazy episode about a crazy book about a crazy set of events--the Hulk Hogan lawsuit against the website Gawker, a lawsuit that was secretly funded by Peter Thiel. Holiday explains how this happened and the lessons for all of us related to conspiracies, patience, strategy, and revenge. Along the way, Holiday discusses his techniques for reading and lessons for how to grab someone's attention when looking for a job or opportunity.
