The history and economics
they kept from you.

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.

Fostering a high self-esteem is encouraged by virtually everyone as a way to make people happier and more successful. But there is no evidence for this claim, and indeed the gospel of self-esteem can make people more anxious and less happy. Not to mention the way egalitarians have exploited the message — why, it’s not how you do, it’s how you feel about yourself that counts! Dr. Michael Edelstein joins me to crush this myth like a bug.
