Summary

Not long ago I was Stefan Molyneux's guest to discuss my book How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, a discussion that brought us through the development of Western science, Scholastic philosophy, St. Thomas Aquinas, the Dark Ages, the origins of economics, and a heck of a lot more.

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

0:14.5

Hey, everybody, Tom Woods here.

0:15.8

In this episode, I am actually reproducing an interview I did as the interviewee. And I did this interview

0:25.3

with Stefan Molinu on his program. And it goes a little long, but I think you'll find it an

0:33.7

interesting conversation. Yes, there's some controversial stuff said, but I know listeners of

0:38.8

this show can take that. That's fine. And even if you don't agree with me on everything, you say,

1:33.3

So that was the springboard for some of our discussion, but then we just talked about a great variety of things. And I certainly found it very, very engaging and interesting, and I hope you will too.

1:37.3

So here we go.
