Thank You for Smoking
Buy Thank You for Smoking by Christopher Buckley on Amazon
Around 2007, he and Elon Musk, along with David Sachs, funded a movie called 'Thank You for Smoking,' which I just watched the day Biden dropped out of the election, and it still holds up. It's a good movie with the actor who played Two-Face in Christopher Nolan's Batman films; he did a fantastic job. It's based on a book by William F. Buckley's son, which is incredibly libertarian and very early in that ideology.
Robert Evans references 'Thank You for Smoking' and highlights that it is based on a book by Christopher Buckley, noted for its libertarian themes, as part of discussing Peter Thiel's ideological influences.
