Ep. 59
This ebook compiles excerpts from the Tom Woods Show podcast, exploring the future of policing in America. It argues for a radical shift away from the state’s monopoly on policing, advocating for privatization and community-based solutions. Several chapters examine the historical context of public policing, revealing its often-corrupt and politically motivated origins. Case studies of successful private security initiatives demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of alternative approaches. Finally, the book proposes concrete steps towards defunding and ultimately dismantling the current system, focusing on non-violent dispute resolution and community-led safety measures.
