Dear Professor Block,

I am British and I identify as a (Left-)Libertarian. Re the referendum on our membership of the EU which I find a very mixed bag. I was wondering whether you think the EU is something that a Libertarian should overall support or oppose, and if you were a British citizen whether you’d vote to remain or leave.

Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to reading your response.  Kind regards, R

Dear R: I favor Brexit. The more the government is broken down into smaller units, the more I like it. Ideally, we should have 7 billion independent countries. Brexit is a step in that direction. I favor all secessions, ceteris paribus. Catalonia from Spain, Quebec from Canada, the US from the UK (in 1776), the South from the North (in 1861), Taiwan from China, etc. Best regards,  Walter
