  2. I am surprised you omitted both Tom Woods and Ron Paul who have had more than one timeless libertarian speech.

    However, this is a great idea and I am excited about it.

  3. Somebody has a Wolfgang stuck in their head. Usually (always?) when we have a emotional response to another (good or bad) it is because we are seeing something in them that reminds us of something in us. Now you may be thinking, "But I'm not a statist pig." That's were it gets tricky. The something they are doing and the something that it reminds you of in you, can be two different things.

  7. Thanks for the list, Mr. Wenzel. Robert Higgs' speech at the end of Mises University 2013 is one of my favorites, and I've listened to it several times.

    The link you have listed for number 2 is for a lecture by Peter Klein about the Fed. It's a good lecture, but if you truly meant to link to Murray Rothbard's lecture on Banking and the Business Cycle then here is the correct link:

    By the way, I'm a very satisfied EPJ Alert customer.
