A Simple
Online Business

In this 30-minute crash course I’ll walk you through the simplest online business model there is. But don’t knock it: that deceptively simple model can take you very far.

Join Tom Woods and his very special guests in his first public return to the sea in six years…for the Tom Woods Cruise!

Check out Tom’s 13 published books for suppressed history, economics, and more.

Historian Phil Magness joins me to discuss the controversy over Nancy MacLean’s book Democracy in Chains, which claims to trace a massive racist, right-wing conspiracy back to — of all people — academic economist James Buchanan, who is associated with Public Choice economics. The book is so rife with error that MacLean finally had to respond to her critics.

Book Discussed

Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America, by Nancy MacLean

Article Discussed

“James M. Buchanan and the Political Economy of Desegregation,” by Phillip Magness, Art Carden, and Vincent Geloso
