The Free Market Has Failed, Say the Drones

Here’s some ammunition you can use to defend yourself when you’re told “deregulation” and the “free market” caused the economic crisis. Naturally, I recommend Meltdown, my new book on the crisis. (Read a free chapter!) Then I suggest my Articles page, where I’ve just posted links to some of my most recent articles on the subject. Finally, I recommend this video, which I posted for the first time about six weeks ago, and which has had over 27,000 views.

Excellent speech. Absolutely incredible. Your arguments are extremely compelling and inspiring. And you did an amazing job near the end capturing the essence of what it is like to read and understand Austrian economics. I love your books. Keep up the good fight!

Can you recommend similar material for the health care debate? Ron Paul often discusses that the problem with health care is the regulation, but I don’t have solid explanation to quote or point anyone to.

I also implore you to make your Politically Incorrect Guide to American History available on Kindle. I so wish I could conveniently pull that book out when I’m debating my liberal friends.

Also known as the “Drive-by Media.”
It is kind of pathetic that people call themselves individuals, yet when trouble starts they flock together like sheep and drone on and on with the blame game.
I read “Meltdown” and I agree whole heartedly!!! It is time for the market to solve its own problems and for the bad eggs to be kicked out of the basket so the good eggs can grow! Amen!

Hi Tom, I first heard for you on one of McAlvany.com weekly commentaries and apart from you obvious well reaseached and educated stance and your sence of humor and light heartness which if refreshing. I knew I had to find our more about you and here more from you and your insites. Which landed me here at your website. Your passion is to be admired and is inspiring. You are doing your part to inform the average person like my self to the wisest of the wise of the truth we have either chosen to ignore or pretend doesnt exist or just out of plan ignorance did not know. I know that more people need to hear this, share this and do their part as you advised……but not to remain delusioned or drunkened slothful of stupid. Keep it coming
