Highlights:

- He recommends Murray Rothbard's "America's Great Depression" for an analysis of the Great Depression and the business cycle in general

- He once again questions the lead up to WW2 in a discussion of government lying us to war

- Ron states that "education is the most important thing; changing people's minds is much more important than being a politician. People your age come up to me all the time and ask me 'how do I become a politician?' and I tell them don't even think about it ... the most important thing is understand free markets, individual liberty, a non-interventionist foreign policy, and monetary policy"

- He's going to write a book and travel around the world, giving lectures

I like the idea of Paul traveling the world. Should be very interesting to see the response. Europe is ripe for the message of liberty, certainly beats a life of serfdom to the banks.

He should devote a whole leg of the tour to speaking in former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc countries. He'd wow 'em in Estonia and the Czech Republic!
