Tom Woods appeared as a guest on Antiwar Radio to discuss his article, The States’ Rights Tradition Nobody Knows, which was recently featured here at TenthAmendmentCenter.com.

He discusses the debt some progressive causes owe to states’ rights, the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, state nullification of unconstitutional federal laws, the undue respect given to the Supremacy Clause, and more.

Thomas E. Woods is the New York Times bestselling author of nine books, including Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse.  A senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, Woods holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Harvard and his master’s, M.Phil., and Ph.D. from Columbia University.

    If you haven’t yet read it, I strongly recommend the book Tom Woods wrote with Kevin Gutzman – Who Killed the Constitution.

    What a great interview! I always hear that the states rights position was “racist” but knew deep down that it had to be just slander. Good to know that I was right – I learned a lot here!

    I’d be interested in knowing what the economy woud function like if the government was following the constitution. Anyone?

    Woods is such a great natural orator. I love listening to him break down points into nuggets that anyone can understand- simple elegance.
