The Tom Woods Show, episode 1408.

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

Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show.

Folks, by far one of the most dangerous economic misconceptions of the 20th century

is that the financial crisis of 2008 was caused by deregulation.

Unregulated capitalism led us here. It's dangerous because the next time this happens, they're going to come up with even worse solutions.

So, we've got to get this one right, and you can, if you read my free e-book, The Deregulation Boogieman. Pick it up at

Regulation Myths.com. Hi, everybody, Tom Woods here. I'm doing something today that is not

entirely unprecedented, but a little bit unusual. I want to play you a talk that I don't think

you'd otherwise have the opportunity to hear, and that I think is very insightful

and I think helps to ground us in what the right approach as we go into the future is for libertarians.

These are the remarks that Meese's Institute president, Jeff Dice, delivered at this month's

State Convention of the Libertarian Party of Florida.

This is May 2019.

And I'm just going to play it for you.

And I think you'll see what I mean.

There's a lot of common sense in here.

And there's one anecdote in particular that really hit home with me, that really, really struck me.

So I'll tell you about that after we're done listening. So here we go.

Now, they had a very, very good audio setup at this convention, but something went wrong with it at one point.

So the audio is not as good as it should be, but it's perfectly adequate to get what Jeff is saying.

So here we go, and I will rejoin you after the recording.
