Thomas Ernest Woods Jr. (born August 1, 1972) is an American author, podcast host, and libertarian commentator who is currently a senior fellow at the Mises Institute.[2][3][4] A proponent of the Austrian School of economics,[5] Woods hosts a daily podcast, The Tom Woods Show, and formerly co-hosted the weekly podcast Contra Krugman.[4][6][7]
Woods' The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History in 2004 interpreted U.S. history through a paleoconservative and, as described by some writers, pro-Confederate lens.[8][9][10] This, and his 2009 book Meltdown on the financial crisis of 2007–2008, became New York Times bestsellers.[11] His subsequent writing has focused on promoting libertarianism and libertarian leaning political figures such as former Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul. Woods also teaches homeschooling courses on Western civilization and government called The Liberty Homeschooler as part of the Ron Paul Curriculum.[12]
In 1994, Woods was a founding member of the League of the South,[13] but he no longer associates with it.
