Tom Woods

Thomas Ernest Woods Jr., born on August 1, 1972, is a prominent American historian, author, and libertarian commentator. Currently serving as a senior fellow at the Mises Institute, Woods has made significant contributions to the discourse on economics and political science, particularly through his advocacy of the Austrian School of economics.

Woods is perhaps best known for his podcast, The Tom Woods Show, where he engages with a variety of topics related to libertarianism and current events. He also co-hosted the popular podcast Contra Krugman, which critiqued mainstream economic thought. His engaging style and insightful commentary have garnered a dedicated following.

His literary works include The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History, published in two thousand four, which presents a unique interpretation of U.S. history through a paleoconservative lens. This book, along with his two thousand nine bestseller Meltdown, which addresses the financial crisis of two thousand eight, has solidified his reputation as a thought leader in libertarian circles.

In addition to his writing and podcasting, Woods is dedicated to education, offering homeschooling courses on Western civilization and government through The Liberty Homeschooler, part of the Ron Paul Curriculum. His efforts continue to inspire a new generation of libertarians and promote the principles of individual liberty and limited government.
