That’s the question that John Stossel will be asking Thursday night to a motley collection of guests, including P. J. O’Rourke, Andrew Napolitano, Jeffrey Miron, and me. Tune in the Fox Business Network at 8:00 p.m. ET.

It repeats many times, as noted [here](http://www.foxbusiness.com/on-air/stossel/), but you know, it’s like the NCAA championship: you don’t want to watch the repeat on ESPN Classic, you want to watch it live with everyone else for the collective experience. So be there at 8:00 Thursday.

Or of course you could just read [*Libertarianism: A Primer* and *The Libertarian Reader*](http://www.amazon.com/David-Boaz/e/B000APTVUK).
