The Tom Woods Show, episode 11007.

Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion.

Your daily dose of Liberty Education starts here, the Tom Woods Show.

Friends, my away carry-on helps make my travel a pleasure.

It's super strong yet lightweight, and it's even got its own USB charger built in.

I'm like the king of the airport with this thing. Take $20 off your suitcase order when you head to

awaytravel.com slash woods and use promo code Woods at checkout. Hello everybody. Tom Woods here.

Lou Rockwell returns to the show today. I'm telling you, I get so many requests. Why don't the two of you do a podcast together? Why don't you have Lou on more often? And of course, I would love to. I just don't want to inconvenience the guy. But I would love to talk to Lou as often as possible. And for those of you who don't know, Lou is, of course, the founder and chairman of the Mises Institute,

which is such a great organization. All the right people hate it, so you know it's good.

It is a resource like you wouldn't believe. Just the website alone is an amazing resource,

but what the Mises Institute does in pushing forward Austrian economics with its scholarly

journals and its scholarly conferences and its training programs for students, it is, for better

or worse, responsible for making me who I am today. I cannot recommend the Mezes Institute to you

more highly. Lou is also, of course, the publisher

of Lou Rockwell.com, which I read every day. So I went to my supporting listeners, and, well,

by the way, I might also mention Lou's just been around the libertarian movement for many years

and was a close colleague of Murray Rothbard, and was

chief of staff to Ron Paul. So he knows everybody, and he's done tremendous work. He's a great

benefactor of mine personally and of the human race more generally. So I went to my supporting

listeners in the supporting listeners Facebook group, which is one of the benefits you get, by the way, just one of the benefits you get when you join over at supporting listeners.com.

And I said, what would you guys like me to talk to Lou Rockwell about?

And they all had all these different possibilities.
