I hope you enjoy my conversation with Walter Block as much as I did.

Please note, we had some technical difficulties which affected the audio and video of this episode. And dealing with that caused me to forget my microphone was out of place, for the first 2 minutes, so my audio is less than ideal in that time.

I encourage you to sample some of Dr. Walter Block’s work…

Toward a Libertarian Society

Building Blocks for Liberty: Critical Essays by Walter Block

The Privatization of Roads and Highways
