Throwing in my vote for a video segment of Jeff handing out Human Action to random housewives in the supermarket as Bob Murphy laughs behind the camera.

I'm looking forward to reading Connor's book. It's notable that "revisionism" is associated with the Left when once upon a time, as Rothbard notes, revisionism, specifically with war, was also a rightwing endeavor.

Boyack’s book is great. I’m on chapter 7 and highly recommend for anyone, even though it’s written for kids.

My wife, a former public school teacher of 10 plus years who resigned in the fall of the 2020 school year due to all this nonsense has been looking for a history curriculum. When I heard this discussed Tom Woods show I immediately sent it to her to see what she thought. We immediately ordered it and already have the workbooks printed off to complement the hardcover. It was great to get a little more background on it in this interview too. Excited to see the market fulfilling these needs as we transition into homeschooling for now the third year.

How to Hid an Empire was an excellent book!

You don't explain what your problem is with Zinn's "A People's History..." It is extremely well-researched and does an excellent job of revealing the problem of state hegemony and attacks on liberty. It is not nearly as "promoted" as very pro-statist writers like John Meacham or Doris Kearns Goodwin (who you don't mention negatively). What is your logic here?

I grew up in Tallahassee Florida where black historical revisionist are rampant. It's where I cut my teeth on the entire concept of historical revision.

Revisionism is one thing, but omitting and lies are another.

Has there ever been a cooler dude than Jeff Deist (save for Burt Lancaster of course)?

Libertarians need to understand is vs ought, regarding race. Everyone OUGHT to support freedom, but the libertarian party IS monochromatic.
