Walter Block

Walter Block is an influential libertarian economist and philosopher known for his advocacy of free markets and individual liberty. He argues that a minimal government is essential for protecting property rights, and he defends controversial views like that of private property in all aspects of life, including social issues. Block is also famous for his work on "anarcho-capitalism," which proposes that all services, including law and security, should be provided by the private sector rather than the state. His writings challenge conventional views on economics and ethics, emphasizing voluntary interactions as the basis for a just society.
