Listen all the way through, because the conversation takes an interesting turn.

Tucker Carlson recently interviewed Lydia Brimelow of the VDARE website on the lawfare directed against them, but in general it's been ignored. But it shouldn't be. Lydia and her colleagues are obviously being targeted for their political views despite not having broken any laws, and this phenomenon is unlikely to end here.

My thanks to Henry Bingaman for letting me share from an episode of his Practical Liberty podcast.

Writing, publishing, and marketing a book can be exhausting. I have a lot of experience with it, so in this episode I'll share some tips (and also note that royalties are the least of the revenue generators a book can provide). I've also just launched Woods Author Academy. I'm joined by Brett Hoffstadt, creator of the Boost With a Book program.

I had a very fruitful and enjoyable discussion with Kim Iversen on the Kim Iversen Show a week or so ago, so I invited Kim onto the ol' Tom Woods Show. Kim would have described herself as a progressive before the Covid fiasco, but the government response and the groupthink, along with other lingering issues, pushed her out.

Price inflation is about more than just paying more for a Big Mac. It has other, more insidious (and to the untrained eye, invisible) effects on society.
