Hello everybody, Tom Woods here. I'm going to walk you through some of the books I think we all ought to be reading. And I think I'm going to try to make it one of my goals this year to reread these books. I haven't read these books in a long time. And man, I know they helped me at the time.

Dave Smith over on the part of the problem podcast critiqued one of Dan's columns, and Gene and Dan are going to have a conversation moderated by me.

And basically, I guess all three of us will be talking about the other one.

And Dan, I don't always agree with him, but he's smart. He's a generous and good guy.

And after we had the debate on the tariffs, Gene and Dan exchanged and CC'd me on some really friendly
