Ep 53: Walter Block on Blackmail, Suicide, and Voluntary Schmavery
from The Filter Podcast with Matt Asher · host Mattasher
I talk with economist and philosopher Walter Block. We discuss his series of books, Defending the Undefendable. The third and latest in that trilogy was recently released. Block defends the legality, and sometimes the morality, of a variety of generally maligned practices and people. We talk about these, as well as libertarian punishment theory, how to handle hostage takers, and the infamous flagpole problem.
