NFSCD -- Brian Wilson with Thomas DiLorenzo S3 Ep18

 A reunion (of sorts) with Tom DiLorenzo, newly installed President of the Mises Institute.



If you always believed Economics was the “dismal science,” you’re in for a necessary and pleasant surprise. Understanding America’s tenuous financial and economic state of affairs was never more important. When you’re $35 trillion in debt, you better be paying attention—with comprehension and solid information. Tom gives a perfect overview of the Mises Institute, economics, and why both are vitally important to us right now. 

Below are links to the books and authors we discussed.

 Economics in One Lesson (Henry Hazlitt)
What Has the Government Done to Our Money – (Murray Rothbard - FREE!)The Law – (Frederick Bastiat)
How Capitalism Saved America (Tom DiLorenzo)
Road to Serfdom  (F.A. Hayek)
The Politically Incorrect Guide to Economics (Tom DiLorenzo)

Thomas DiLorenzo is president of the Mises Institute. He is a former professor of economics at Loyola University Maryland and a longtime member of the senior faculty of the Mises Institute.

"What If..." The Judge Strikes Again

What if Thanksgiving Exposes the Government? By  Andrew P. Napolitano November 28, 2013 What if another Thanksgiving Day is upon us and because of the government we have less to be thankful for than we did at the last one? What if at every Thanksgiving liberty is weakened and the government is strengthened? What if Thanksgiving’s warm and breezy seduction of gratitude is just the government’s way of inducing us to think we should be grateful for it? What if we don’t owe the government any thanks for anything? What if the government owes us back all the freedom and property it has stolen from us? What if the government has produced nothing and owns nothing, save what it has coerced us to give it? What if the courts have ruled that the government can lie and cheat with impunity in order to acquire our property or assault our freedoms?
