How about that? We're trying to transition Bob back into being a regular guest

after he and I started the Contra Krugman podcast, which we release one episode of every week,

and we refute Paul Krugman every single week over at contra Krugman.com. He sort of fell away as a guest.

Well, I'm not letting get away with that anymore. And I'm having him on today to

talk about a topic that I thought would sort of blow over quickly, but is still being discussed. So I thought,

ah, what the heck? Let's talk about it. It's the whole Donald Trump deal with Carrier, this company

that was threatening to send some jobs to Mexico. And Trump's deal apparently halted the movement of some of those jobs to Mexico.

So we want to talk about the economics of that, and we also want to talk about the controversy among libertarians, about whether that's something to cheer or whether that's something to be outraged about.

And I think Bob's a good guy to discuss that.

With Bob, as you may know, holds a PhD in economics from New York University. He's the author

of many outstanding books. One of them is Lessons for the Young Economist, which is a textbook

for late junior high, early high school students. You can get that book for free online,

plus a teacher's edition for free. His real masterpiece so far in his life is

Choice, subtitle Cooperation, Enterprise, and Human Action. It's like a distillation of Meese's

human action. If you're too intimidated by that huge book,

definitely check out choice. Tom Woods.com slash choice will actually take you to the Amazon page
