Get the new book, Socialism Sucks: Two Economists Drink Their Way Through the Unfree World by coauthors Robert Lawson and Benjamin Powell: https://amzn.to/2GQgWFr

Matt Kibbe, Lawson, and Powell enjoy some of the finest craft beer America has to offer. Meanwhile, it’s hard to find good beer—or sometimes any beer at all—in socialist countries.

That’s right, socialism—the economic system that has impoverished people everywhere and resulted in the deaths of tens of millions. Don’t miss this new book. Every American who values freedom and sound economics (and good beer) needs to read this.

Matt Kibbe

Matt Kibbe is President at Free the People, an educational foundation using video storytelling to turn on the next generation to the values of personal liberty and peaceful cooperation. He is also co-founder and partner at Fight the Power Productions, a video and strategic communications company. Kibbe is the host of BlazeTV’s Kibbe on Liberty, a popular podcast that insists that you think for yourself.

Dubbed “the scribe” by the New York Daily News, Kibbe is the author three books, most recently the #2 New York Times bestseller Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff: A Libertarian Manifesto.

He was senior advisor for a Rand Paul Presidential Super PAC in 2016, and later co-founded AlternativePAC to promote libertarian values.

In 2004 Kibbe founded FreedomWorks, a national grassroots advocacy organization, and served as President until his departure in 2015. Steve Forbes said: “Kibbe has been to FreedomWorks what Steve Jobs was to Apple.”

An economist by training, Kibbe did graduate work at George Mason University and received his B.A. from Grove City College. He serves at the whim of his awesome wife Terry, and their three objectivist cats, Roark, Ragnar and Rearden. Kibbe is a fanatical DeadHead, drinker of craft beer and whisky, and collector of obscure books on Austrian economics.
