I'm a Blockhead: ANNOUNCING Weekly Walter!


I admit it. I'm hooked.

Is there any other person--much less a real, professional economist--who can explain economics in the same fun, hilarious and easy-going way that Walter Block can?

Lew Rockwell has started referring to Walter as the new "Mr. Libertarian." Boy, could I agree anymore?

Bob Wenzel has started a series on his site called "Morning Coffee with Murray" where he provides short, but important clips of Rothbard that are under 5 min long. I've decided to start a series on this blog called "Weekly Walter" where I play a clip under 10min of the great Walter Block. Here's our first installment. It's an oldie somebody dug up of Dr. Block explaining the environment and Austrian economics :


The reason I start the series off here is because this is one of those taboo topics. We're always told that the free-market could never provide a solution to environmental problems on it's own. Balderdash! says Block. I often describe my political views as Rockwellian but I may have to change that to "Blockian" (or should I just call myself a "Blockhead"?).
