DEAR LIBERTARIAN FRIEND:

Decades ago, when I was young and in college, and just starting my journey into
the world of libertarian thought in earnest, I ate most of my meals in the
campus cafeteria. Every night after dinner, I’d walk out the front door smack
into a crowd of radical students distributing a communist newspaper. I’m not
kidding: hammer and sickle and everything. When they tried to talk me into
taking a copy, I refused and explained I was a free-marketeer, which invariably
started a heated argument.

I have to confess that I didn’t always cover myself with glory when defending
free market thinking. You see, I was pretty sure the free market was the best
way for society to be arranged. But I didn’t always have the facts, figures, and
logical arguments to back it up.


TODAY, THAT’S ALL DIFFERENT.

For instance, at a cocktail party, a leftist and I got into a verbal dust-up
when he insisted that socialism was the moral approach to government because it
helps the poor, while capitalism helps only the rich. Instead of trying to frame
my argument on the fly, I defended the free market with well-thought-out
rationales I have acquired through decades of studying and writing about
libertarian thought and capitalism.

“In a market economy, producers earn and keep profits, which they use to buy
equipment and hire workers, enabling them to produce in much greater quantities
at lower cost,” I explained to my leftist opponent.

“People’s real incomes rise, and they become better off, because the economy
becomes physically capable of producing in greater and greater abundance at ever
lower costs, and the benefit of this greater abundance is lower prices,
increasing consumer buying power.”

By the way, this is precisely what happened during the 19th and 20th centuries:
People at the end of the last century had to work far less than those at the
beginning of the 1900s to earn the necessary purchasing power to buy a wide
range of important consumer goods. And this is why the poorest suffer the fewest
deprivations in the world’s most market-friendly societies.

With his leftist worldview dismantled in about 120 seconds, my verbal sparring
partner left without a comeback and walked off in a huff. That always gives me
tremendous satisfaction.




I'M TOM WOODS.

Thomas E. Woods, Jr.,
is the New York Times bestselling author of 12 books, including The Politically
Incorrect Guide to American History, Meltdown (on the financial crisis,
featuring a foreword by Ron Paul), 33 Questions About American History You’re
Not Supposed to Ask, and Real Dissent: A Libertarian Sets Fire to the Index Card
of Allowable Opinion.

Read Tom’s Bio

I am the best-selling author of 12 books on libertarianism and free-market
economics, including The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History. See my
bio at left for more details.

I have spent literally tens of thousands of dollars and more than a decade
acquiring degrees in history, including a bachelor’s from Harvard and Ph.D. from
Columbia, and have dedicated my life to defending free-market thought and
teaching it to others.

But I realize most people don’t have the time, funds, or inclination to devote
almost a decade of their lives to school and study like I did. And so I found
the perfect solution – an online resource that can give you the equivalent of a
doctoral degree in libertarian philosophy, politics, and economics in months or
even weeks instead of years.

With this new knowledge, you can master the facts and arguments behind the
libertarian ideas you hold dear, so you can persuade your critics of the
correctness of your position. And you can get this free-market education online,
without leaving your home, for just 24 cents a day!


INTRODUCING LIBERTY CLASSROOM: THE PREMIERE ONLINE “UNIVERSITY” OF LIBERTARIAN
THOUGHT THAT YOU CAN “ATTEND” WHILE SITTING AT YOUR PC OR DRIVING IN YOUR CAR.


THE ISSUES

Liberty Classroom is one of the largest and most expertly researched and written
collections of audio and video lessons and lectures on libertarian ideas and
free-market economics available anywhere in the world today.

Listening to the audios and watching the videos will load you up with the facts,
figures, and other ammunition you need to feel supremely confident … and come
out on top … when arguing politics or economics with yet another devoted leftist
or socialist – and even with neoconservatives, who make their own share of
mistakes.

Now you’ll have the knowledge to clearly articulate the central political and
economic issues of libertarianism.




THE FREE MARKET AND MONOPOLIES.

Your high school teacher probably told you that the 19th-century American
economy was shot through with monopolies, thanks to the free market, and that
only government intervention was able to reverse the process. I was taught this,
too. But it’s bunk, and we’ll give you the real story.


WAS THE GREAT DEPRESSION A CASE OF THE FREE MARKET RUN WILD?

That’s what we learned in school, but it’s not true at all. At Liberty Classroom
we teach you about the Federal Reserve System – ignored in nearly all classroom
discussions of the coming of the Depression – and explain what really caused the
crash.


HAS THE FREE MARKET LED TO EXPLOITATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT?

Of course not, but that’s what we’re all led to think. When the market is
allowed to function, resources are conserved and the future is provided for. By
contrast, when government doesn’t allow the market or property rights to
function, resources are degraded and depleted.


REPEAL OF THE MINIMUM WAGE.

These days it’s fashionable to call for a $15 minimum wage, which would amount
to more than a 100 percent raise for some people. Economic studies show that
increases in the minimum wage don’t hurt employment, left-liberals will say. But
even if those “studies” weren’t shot through with howlers, not one of them says
a 100% increase won’t hurt employment! You’ll learn the real effects of the
minimum wage, and you won’t have to fear coming out second best in a debate.


THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION: THE REAL ISSUE.

Why Americans fought the American Revolution in defense of a principle our
present federal government despises.


THE PRESIDENTS

Why the best presidents were the ones your teachers hated, and the worst were
the ones they loved.


THE PROBLEMS WITH “LIBERAL” INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION.

Virtually all schoolchildren learn that the federal government can do pretty
much anything that advances the general welfare, and that an “elastic clause”
grants it a wide array of unspecified powers. This argument is indefensible, and
we’ll arm you with ammunition against it.

In short, you’ll master logical, persuasive arguments that support the
fundamental libertarian precepts of individualism, individual rights, the rule
of law, limited government, free markets, the virtue of production, the natural
harmony of interests, and peace.

MURRAY ROTHBARD

other goods and free-market analysis applied across the board.


LUDWIG VON MISES

…Ludwig von Mises on why recessions aren’t just causeless, spontaneous
occurrences and are not the result of so-called “contradictions of capitalism.”
They’re caused by tinkering with the free market, and particularly by pushing
interest rates lower than the market wants to set them – like they are right
now.


FREDERIC BASTIAT

…Why Frederic Bastiat believes the market economy is a place of harmony, not
struggle or conflict, and that in a free market, people specialize in that area
in which they are best able to serve others.

Many Americans, and I suspect you are among them, are deeply unhappy about the
direction of our country and the world.

The federal government continues to grow more powerful, entrenched bureaucratic
fiefdoms seem all but impossible to dislodge, and ever more economic
manipulation by the Federal Reserve and the regime in Washington seem bound to
give us another round of economic turmoil. Meanwhile, your friends, co-workers,
and relatives see nothing wrong — or actually cheer it on.

You know all this is wrong, but you lack the arguments, facts, and ideas to
defend libertarianism to people you encounter every day.

Now, thanks to Liberty Classroom, you can get a complete education in free
market economics, enabling you to clearly and persuasively articulate the case
for libertarianism to that large proportion of the American public whose
opinions, unfortunately, sound like they came straight out of a seventh-grade
textbook.

So….

 * Are you interested in history and economics from a pro-freedom perspective,
   but don’t know where to begin your studies or which sources you can trust?
 * Do you wish you could defend yourself more effectively in discussions with
   leftists who call you selfish and evil for being a libertarian, or try to
   sway you to their socialist point of view.
 * Are your history teachers or professors giving you a biased view of history,
   and you want the facts and arguments to effectively debate them?
 * Are you tired of the media’s propaganda and eager for the truth?

Then Liberty Classroom is for you!

Liberty Classroom gives you 100% original material – lectures written and
delivered expressly for our members. This is libertarian thought, wisdom, and
content you can’t get anywhere else!

And your instructors are some of the top libertarian authors and college
professors in the country – including economist Robert P. Murphy, James Madison
biographer Kevin Gutzman, and Hillside College historian Brad Birzer. Again,
more details on our faculty are in the column at left.

I hand-picked our faculty for their unique perspectives on libertarian thought;
their ability to translate sometimes-difficult ideas into clear, simple
language; and their enthusiasm for sharing their free market knowledge with
others.

Many libertarians know in their hearts their pro-freedom philosophy is correct,
but don’t always have the background or training to articulate their views to
uninformed leftists and other skeptics.

When you enroll in Liberty Classroom, you’ll get the education – and have the
information and cogent arguments at your fingertips – to articulate your
libertarian perspective and win your political and economic debates.

THERE’S A MYTH IN AMERICA THAT EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINIONS AND ALL
OPINIONS CARRY MORE OR LESS EQUAL WEIGHT.

But it’s not true. We’re all entitled to an informed opinion. Many people who
debate politics, economics, and social issues do so with little command of the
facts. Liberty Classroom ensures your mastery of the unvarnished truth so you
can defend your libertarian ideas with clarity, accuracy, and rock-solid logic.

The distortions and omissions of the political, media, and academic
establishments have gone on long enough. Liberty Classroom offers you a unique
opportunity to learn the finer points of libertarian thought from scholars,
teachers, writers, and thinkers committed to the truth.

Each month, for less than the price of a movie ticket, Liberty Classroom gives
you access to stimulating, though-provoking lectures and discussions on the key
ideas of libertarianism, capitalism, and free-market economics.
