Summary
Stephan Kinsella, the libertarian theorist and author of "Against Intellectual Property", asked me the other day about my college admission experience. He and I each have a child in the tenth grade, so the topic of college comes up in our households. I didn't think I had much interesting to say about it, but we decided he would in effect host this episode and ask me questions. The resulting conversation turned out to be great!

| 0:00.0 | The Tom Woods Show, episode 1304. |
| 0:03.2 | Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion. |
| 0:07.8 | Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show. |
| 0:14.3 | Hey, all you homeschooling parents out there, you may be thinking to yourselves, well, it's too far into the school year for me to change homeschooling |
| 0:22.4 | programs now, so we'll just have to slog through it. If that's how you feel, go ahead and |
| 0:28.0 | chuck that labor-intensive homeschool program you've got and join the self-taught Ron Paul |
| 0:33.8 | curriculum through my link where you get $160 worth of free bonuses. |
| 0:38.9 | Check it out at Ron Paul Homeschool.com. |

| 0:51.1 | challenging book. |
| 0:53.1 | It's the kind of book whose thesis you almost don't want to |
| 0:56.1 | accept when you first start reading it. And then by the end of it, you want to take that |
| 0:59.9 | book and bash people over the head who don't accept it. So it's very, very well done and |
| 1:03.8 | interesting. He's also the author of the forthcoming, as in early 2009, International Investment, |
| 1:09.9 | Political Risk and Dispute Resolution, a risk, and dispute resolution, a practitioner's |
| 1:13.0 | guide, published by Oxford. And you can find him, I'm pretty sure, at stephencinecine.com. |
| 1:20.3 | Am I right, Stefan? That's all correct. Okay. All right. Well, I'm going to blame you for this |
| 1:25.3 | episode, if it turns out badly, and maybe take the credit if it turns out well. |
| 1:30.2 | But it was Stefan's idea. |
| 1:32.1 | The other day we were on Facebook Messenger. |
| 1:34.6 | We have these, we'll go like a week, no conversation, two, three weeks. |
