The Tom Woods Show, episode 998.

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

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

Folks, unless you want to live in fear forever of your social justice warrior boss,

you better have some kind of side hustle going on in case it

should ever come to that. I've built up online income streams that allow me to work from anywhere

Hey everybody, Tom Woods here. Today we're talking about a very, very important name in the libertarian world, a name you need to know.

And that's Hans Herman Hoppa, who is probably, if not the most significant libertarian thinker in the world today.

He's certainly in the top five, no question about that, extremely important and

influential and certainly played a role in helping me understand libertarianism better.

He's got just a razor-sharp mind. If you've got a bad argument, it is going to be shredded

I can't imagine going through that experience.
