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

Hey everybody, Tom Woods here.

What a show we have for you today.

Just fantastic. I am joined today by our old friend Michael Malice, and we are going to talk about Alexander Hamilton. And it turns out we have tremendous disagreement on Alexander Hamilton. I happen to be mentioning that I would be in town. My wife and a couple of our kids are going to New York City next month, July 2015, and I mentioned to him that we'd be in town from such and such dates, and it'd be great to have lunch together.

I'll link to the famous book by Tom DeLorenzo on Alexander Hamilton.

We have lots of great stuff over there at tomwoods.com slash 432.

author most recently of Dear Reader, the unauthorized autobiography of Kim Jong-il. He is a frequent

panelist on Kennedy on the Fox Business Network. I think he is far and away the best part of that show,

if you ask me anyway. So I'm very glad to welcome him here once again. Michael Malice,

welcome back. Thanks, Tom. I told you about my crazy morning just now. So even though it's sitting

on the passenger seat, I just don't have

time to go down to my car and get my copy of ego and hubris, the Michael Malice story, which I read
