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

As you likely know by now, Google fired James Damore after he wrote an internal memo questioning the assumption that all human differences are due to social conditioning. There is no “libertarian position” on this per se; Google obviously may hire and fire as it pleases. But man was there a lot of libertarian confusion about this.

Some said his firing was “the market” speaking. Some called me a “thick” libertarian for being critical of Google. Some appeared to suggest that libertarians aren’t allowed to criticize private entities.

In this episode I clear up all of these unfortunate (and persistent) confusions.
