The Tom Woods Show

All right, so it’s a cliche, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to be answered. Bob Murphy and I discuss a recent set of arguments in favor of state monopoly road provision.

Article Discussed

My Experience With Private Roads and Why Libertarians Have No Idea What They’re Talking About” (n.b.: some bad language)

Book Mentioned

The Privatization of Roads and Highways, by Walter Block
