Tom DiLorenzo: Abraham Lincoln was a Big Government Politician

Today, The Two Mikes welcomed back Dr. Tom DiLorenzo for a
discussion on Abraham Lincoln and to mark the anniversary of the
battle of Antietam on September 17th.

Dr. DiLorenzo has written three excellent, highly provocative, and
deeply researched books about Abraham Lincoln, and they have
influenced and begun to change the understanding of Lincoln among
the public and in the academy.

Dr. DiLorenzo explained that Lincoln was a lawyer for corporate
interests and was the chief counsel for the Illinois Central
railway, a career that produced a man who favored protectionism,
governmental spending to assist railroad and other industries, and
a view of the central government properly operating beyond its
constitutional powers and reach.

--Dr. DiLorenzo writes regularly at lewrockwell.com

--His books about Lincoln are: The Problem of Lincoln (Regnery
History, 2020; Lincoln Unmasked (Crown Forum, 2007), and The Real
Lincoln (Crown Forum, 2003)
