Summary

The prolific and sorely underrated Connor Boyack, president of the Libertas Institute, is back with still more important work. For years libertarians have wrung their hands about the lack of materials for younger people, particularly in economics. How to convey these important ideas to kids? Connor actually did something about it. In fact, since our last conversation Connor has made three substantial contributions to our movement. Don't miss them. They are exactly what we needed, but which we lacked the ambition to do.

He's got something brand new that fills a gap we all knew was there, but nobody bothered to fill it. And yeah, I know you can find here and there bits and
1:12.9	pieces, but nothing systematic. He found a gap and he filled it. And namely, how do we teach
