My Latest Video: Krugman Attacks, But Ducks Debate

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."

-Tom Bethell, senior editor,
The American Spectator
"The hottest book today is Meltdown, by my friend Tom Woods."

-David Gordon, The Mises Review
"Tom Woods is one of my dearest allies in the struggle against wrong-headed and dangerous economic policy."

You might choose a different cover for your next video, with your eyes open perhaps^^
I’m looking forward to the next course at Liberty Classroom and your radio show!

You should have seen the other two they offered me; I was making goofy faces. Closed eyes were the best option I had.

Huge fan Tom, check your site almost everyday! You guys must be getting to old Krugman for him to be writing about the Austrians in a column!
Even liked your Facebook page man, keep up all your great work.

Of course Krugman ducks debate. He’s the biggest naked emperor in the court astrology racket, and he’s clever enough to know that Murphy would shred him.

Just so long as it doesn’t look like you’re “thwacking” anybody in the ear with your finger while showing a real mean face.

Hi Tom,
I just wanted to make one little point which I think that Bob Murphy is not exploiting enough; namely the fact that his challenge to debate Krugman is not merely one ivory tower asking to duell another for sport. It’s more like the fact that Krugman, in being the de-facto spokesperson for the prevalent economic ‘philosophy,’ under which we are all suffering, actually owes us all an explanation for the manifestly miserable results and very dangerous further risks which this philosophy is foistering.
The time might come to state the challenge as a demand for an explanation, “the people’s right to know”-type of approach.
Take care,
Chris

I read this wrong the first time. I took “Ducks” as the subject in the second clause of the title, which I thought was pretty funny.
