There is also another great video (33 Questions - MisesMedia on YouTube) where Woods and Jeffrey Tucker have a fun little chat about the book. If you all have some time later on, do check it out. I've linked to that same video in the "government intervention" post mentioned above. Hear you on Obama. I have been purposely avoiding most of this news, but am still hearing about his unprecedented out-in-front appearance ahead of swearing in. And there's certainly been a lot of "saintly" imagery surrounding the guy over the past year!

A quick Google search on that book brought up quite a bit of stuff, including a video of a speech from the author: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxNwsi8Pl_4 I heard a bit of President - oh wait, he's not the President yet, but you'd never know it - Obama's speech this morning on the radio as I was driving around. If I didn't know better, I'd believe that we'll have heaven on earth here within the next 6-12 months. Maybe I should have titled this post "He'll Save You". Thanks David.

Woods. There's a very brief chapter on the New Deal and Depression that's a real eye opener for anyone, especially those who might otherwise believe the commonly taught "FDR saved us" narrative.

Every time they interfere, they mess things up worse. Actually I’d like our government to talk less and do less. Every time they interfere, they mess things up worse.
