This is Monica Perez.

This is Monica Perez, and we are starting a new book today.

We just finished report from Iron Mountain.

I had a great conversation with Scott and William about that.

You'll have to go to the History Homo's podcast to listen to that.

It's free. but I think it's

commercial free also. So that was very fun. I always like when they help me wrap a book up.

And I'll put it out as a highlight reel for premium listeners, but you can get it free on

History Homo. So the book I want to do today is a very short, seminal work by Frederick Bostiat.

It's before I had a radio show so I could just absorb and said, you know, I didn't have to synthesize and distribute. I just absorbed stuff. And when I read it, it's so resonated with everything I had learned from my father growing up, but he was already dead. So I called

my aunt, his sister, who was very like-minded, my aunt Margaret. And I just, I had to tell her,

she would just absolutely love this book. So you probably heard this before. I'm not sure I can still

do her accent. When she first got married, she lived in the projects in Brooklyn, but she became an English
