Scott Horton

Scott Horton is the author of Fool’s Errand: Time to End the War in Afghanistan, managing director of the Libertarian Institute at LibertarianInstitute.org, host of Antiwar Radio on Pacifica, 90.7 FM KPFK in Los Angeles and KUCR 88.3 in Riverside, California and podcasts the Scott Horton Show from his website.

In 2007, Horton won the Austin Chronicle‘s “Best of Austin” award for his Iraq war coverage on Antiwar Radio. He’s conducted more than 4,500 interviews since 2003.

Scott is also the opinion editor of Antiwar.com. His articles have appeared there, and at LewRockwell.com, the History News Network, The Future of Freedom and the Christian Science Monitor.

Scott has spent much of the past two odd decades giving a voice to the most ardent anti-war activists and minds. He has never denied a guest to talk because of ideology, race, religion or region instead he has provided thousands of hours of histories for present and future generations to digest and consider. As remarkable and diligent that this is, it tragically is not enough to stop the futility of human mass violence. Fool’s Errand is the emergence of Horton as a credible book writer and historian based upon his interactions and accumulation over the decades.

Scott lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, investigative reporter Larisa Alexandrovna Horton.

"In Fool's Errand, Scott Horton masterfully explains the tragedy of America's longest war and makes the case for immediate withdrawal. I highly recommend this excellent book on America's futile and self-defeating occupation of Afghanistan." - Daniel Ellsberg, Pentagon Papers whistleblower

Robert Wenzel

Robert Wenzel, who grew up outside Boston, states that his vision of liberty is "more radical than that of the Founding Fathers."

He is editor & publisher of EconomicPolicyJournal.com and of Target Liberty, where he discusses issues relating to free markets, liberty and Private Property Society theory.

He considers the writings of Ludwig von Mises, F.A Hayek, Murray Rothbard, Henry Hazlitt and Harry Browne as the most important influences on his thinking. 

A frequent guest on radio talk shows, he has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes, Bloomberg, ZeroHedge, LewRockwell.com, at CNBC and many other media outlets.
