Eps 653 - The History You "Know" is Actually Ruining the Future

About this episode

The episode discusses the inaccuracies in the history we've learned and their impact on current and future issues in America.

Milton Friedman famously remarked, "It's not what you don't know that is the problem, it is what you think you know that just ain't so." This has never been as obvious as it is today. When you look at all the problems in America, it is very reasonable to ask the question, "Is the History we've learned accurate? Could the story actually be different?" It's becoming more obvious that this must be the case. Tom Woods Show with Dave Smith https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFQYgz9OMuY
