The Tom Woods Show

People have been debating that question for thousands of years. In this episode we explore Hellenistic philosophy, and what it means for man to live according to his nature -- a subject that forms the foundation, whether we realize it or not, of so many modern debates. You will impress your friends if you know this stuff. Show notes for Ep. 2174

The word "equality" sure sounds nice, but it's been used on behalf of plenty of evil causes. Is there any sense in which it is unambiguously good? Tom Mullen joins me to discuss the issue, with emphasis on Thomas Jefferson's views. Sponsor: BitTrust IRA Show notes for Ep. 2173

The great jack-of-all-trades Dominic Frisby joins me to compare lunacies between the UK and the US these days, and then discusses his latest project: a dramatic production based on the actual stories of children separated from their parents during the horrors of World War II.

Henry Bingaman is a master with words: his words have sold $300 million in goods and services for his clients (of whom I am one). He's also a libertarian and a Supporting Listener of the Tom Woods Show, and he made a stunning presentation to my in-person event for my School of Life program. Today we talk about an excellent profession for libertarians, and about Henry's own shift away from his previous work and into specifically helping libertarians, at a time when the rest of the world seems to be against us.

Cameron Sorsby describes a plausible alternative to this soul-crushing machine. Sponsor: Persist SEO Show notes for Ep. 2165
