Today is Walter Block’s 80th birthday. The title of most famous book, Defending the Undefendable, best captures his way of looking at the world. He will take a libertarian principle and deduce consequences from it with iron consistency, often using imaginative examples while doing so. You may think he is wrong, but you will find it more difficult than you first suspect to show this. If you write to him with an objection, you will probably soon find yourself the co-author of a paper with him. His is an amazingly prolific scholar in both libertarian theory and Austrian economics and an outstanding educator as well. Happy Birthday Walter!
