	OttawaWatch: Walter Block and the budget vote
		Block told me, at the time, about how he first came to propose the idea of a body that could research the relationship between religion and economics from a market-oriented viewpoint.
		Block spent the next few years working with a whole range of academics and leaders in religious groups, to acquaint them with the idea giving free reign to a market economy.
		Block's chief contribution to the thinking of that period was the organizing, in August 1982, of an International Symposium, by the CRE.

	Interview with Walter Block
		Walter Block is professor of economics at the University of Central Arkansas and chairman of the department.
		Block: Most of my contributions to the literature have been to apply Austro-Misesian insights to specific case studies in economics that are considered somewhat unusual.
		Block: But the service of keeping one's mouth shut is what the person who is being flmailed is paying for, just like we pay people to clean our carpets or fix our cars.

	Controversy: Do Market Economies Allocate Resources Optimally? A Response to Walter Block (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		First, Block says that the optimum concept "is hardly the rallying cry of libertarians," who base their thinking on deduction from "private property rights and the non-aggression axiom." I agree that the optimum concept is not a linchpin for that particular axiomatic approach, as found, say, in Robert Nozick’s writing.
		When Block defends the inequalities that arise in a marketplace, he draws upon classic free-market thinking: That the productivity of a market economy will raise all boats, and that inequality, rather than being an evil, is a hallmark of the freedom the market embodies.
		At one point, Block observes how it would have seemed at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution that all work would soon be displaced; and from this he infers that my concern over displacement and inequality resulting from today’s new technology are equally unrealistic.

	Block, Epstein will duel over domain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		As a result of their overwhelming differences, Block is flying into Chicago to go head to head with Epstein in a contest of libertarian ideas.
		Block, however, says there is no such thing as a public good, and promises that he can back up his claim not only through libertarian ideology, but also through sound economics.
		Block spares no one when he finds that they hold views that are less than what pure libertarianism or the rigorously logical Austrian school of economics demands.

	Those Cartoons: A Reply To Walter Block
		Incidentally, Dr. Block errs in saying that it is “the (radical) Islamic position” that “holds that showing the likeness of Muhammad per se constitutes blasphemy, and should be punished, presumably, with beheading.” Au contraire: this is a mainstream position, sanctioned by Islam’s leading scholars.
		Dr. Block is impeccable when it comes to the application of libertarian law—not in a million years would he rule to outlaw speech he deems immoral.
		Block knows full well that slippery slope reasoning is also a form of illogic, favored by the loathsome left.

	New MRI technique quickly builds 3-D images of knees
		Block's data-acquisition technique capitalizes on recent magnetic resonance hardware advances that, coupled with a novel way of maintaining a high-level magnetic resonance signal throughout the scan, will speed an MRI session.
		The technique, which Block patented through the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, also will make it easier to image parts of the body, such as the heart or abdomen, in which motion is a factor.
		In related research, Block also has developed an algorithm that, within less than a second, can calibrate a magnetic resonance system to use nonconventional methods of data acquisition, yet produce clearer images.

		Ordinarily I would ignore this sort of thing, but since Block is a fairly prominent member of this school of thought, and an academic who should be expected to adhere to at least minimal standards of scholarship and decency, a brief reply seems in order.
		Block completely ignores these various nuances and qualifications, and says almost nothing in response to the detailed arguments I gave in defense of the overall position developed in the article.

		Block: This is part and parcel of the failure of socialism: private activities are inevitably cheaper than governmental ones.
		Block: Based on my experience with college and university teaching, most places don’t allow students to take economics until their sophomore year.
		Block: Not only do I not think that college is not for every student, I think the same is true for high school, and even elementary school.

	Blockian Ethics
		Professor Block dismisses charges that in real life his "heroes" actually do commit acts of aggression, by saying that though the charge may be true in any particular case, it is not necessarily true of the social outcast’s profession qua profession.
		Professor Block gives the false impression that libertarianism means approval of vice and blindness to all ethical considerations beyond the nonaggression principle.
		When his book was finally published, Walter had deemphasized the heroism of his defendants, choosing to refer to them as scapegoats instead.

		Such as when Walter had to answer the question about the turbo-diesel Chrysler; or the be-doo-ragged guy who insisted North Korea was doing better than South Korea--you can't be sure whether the guy is just confused, or whether that is actually his view.
		Walter is so into ideas, and so sincere, he's actually having a serious intellectual conversation with these guys--and it's kind of interesting, as much as they fumble around and are uninformed by the kind of academic and economic and political theories Block just unabashaedly hurls at them, they are somewhat sincere and
