How to Advance Liberty

Tom Woods

"Well written, well researched, and the thesis put forth is well argued.... Woods has opened up an area of historical analysis that should invite further study."
-Journal of American History
"During these times that challenge our freedoms there is no one more qualified to make U.S. history relevant to the fight against big government than Thomas Woods."
-Barry Goldwater Jr.
Former Member of Congress
"I strongly recommend Woods's work."
-The Honorable Ron Paul,
U.S. House of Representatives
"Written with great clarity and fluency, making the complex philosophical and theological concepts approachable."
-Journal of American Studies
"A must-read."
-Barron's
"An excellent reading source for anyone interested in financial markets, and much more so for anyone interested in learning about capitalism without all the misinterpretations being thrown about in the financial media."
-Asia Times
"Provocative, well-written, and deserves to be read."
-Catholic Historical Review
"An engaging and important contribution to scholarship on the history of American Catholicism."
-Journal of the Historical Society
"Woods and [co-author Kevin] Gutzman appeal to both left and right in this constitutionalist jeremiad…. The authors' exegeses of the Constitution and court decisions, heavy on original intent arguments, are lucid and telling."
-Publishers Weekly
"A marvelous read. Every chapter taught me something new and unexpected."
-Tom Bethell, senior editor,
The American Spectator
"The hottest book today is Meltdown, by my friend Tom Woods."
-Judge Andrew Napolitano, senior judicial analyst,
FOX News Channel
"Should be required reading."
-Economic Affairs (London)
"Woods, one of the best classical liberal [libertarian] scholars of his generation, has once more placed us in his debt with this lucid and tightly argued book."
-David Gordon, The Mises Review
"Tom Woods is one of my dearest allies in the struggle against wrong-headed and dangerous economic policy."
-Peter Schiff

Tremendous! Quite the enjoyable hour I spent watching and listening. “It is light that brings forth the eye.” While watching Leonard I relived [in my mind] an enjoyable moment a year ago passing fire at an Ojibway ceremony in northern Wisconsin. Leonard nailed the spiritual dynamics of “Lord, make me a channel of thy peace” [St.Francis] as he analyzed the hydraulics of a pipe through a dam. He’s my kinda teacher. Alas, Leonard departed thirty years ago. Not to fret as we now have Tom. I’m grateful. Tom’s flame is strong and appears to be of similar fire.
I enjoyed Leonard’s emphasis on growth. Sometimes we meet very bright people. Some of those seem to have been born that way or have at least been that way for so long that they can’t remember how they got to be so bright. We can and do learn from those as such, but we learn more from those in which we see the growth. We approach them to hear the story of how they grew to be so bright for we know it is fresh in their minds. It is that story of enlightenment in which we believe, in which we are kindled.

Wow. I’m seriously impressed with myself. I discovered this before you did! I’ve been linking to it for a few years now.

Having said that I expect you might possibly have a tiny bit larger audience.

I’d love to see the letters Whitey sent to Read and Read sent to Whitey.
