In this episode I review a portion of a recent exchange between Tom Woods and Michael Malice.

Tom discusses how difficult it is to reach the masses regarding the ideas of freedom. And from this he expresses his disappointment that this impedes the journey towards a free society.

Sounds like the classic libertarian concern about the majority, right?

I promise you will be interested in my take on this topic. Enjoy!
