Tomorrow's weekly episode of John Stossel's eponymous Fox Business show is all about "The Rise of the Libertarians."

Matt Welch and I appear on the program to discuss the themes we outlined in our book The Declaration of Independents and to talk about all the recent developments that argue for what we've called "the Libertarian Moment" and even "the Libertarian Era."

Other guests include Penn Jillette, members of Students for Liberty, and former Rep. Ron Paul. Follow the show on Twitter at the hashtag #TheRise.

Stossel airs on Thursday at 9pm ET. Go here for more information on the show.

Click above to watch a web-only exclusive preview of the episode, in which Matt and I discuss whether a libertarian world would be like Somalia, why libertarians are constantly forced to answer such questions, and more.

Stossel's syndicated column appears every Wednesday at Reason.com. Read the latest here and check out his archive here.
