Subject: A second Question

One more thing, sorry I bring all my questions to you, you always answer fastest and with the most sources haha. So I was thinking about federally enclosed land and whatnot, and how there is millions of square miles of “federally owned” land, or otherwise controlled by the US govt, where they are preventing people from going in and homesteading their own land. Is there a case to be made that the govt control of this land is significantly inflating land/property prices? And if so would you say the libertarian solution would be to 1. Sell off the land or 2. “free up” the land, allowing people to go in and homestead the property. The second option seems like the correct libertarian solution to me, and I think this whole thing gets overlooked when talking about poverty and capital accumulation under capitalism. I don’t see why there is so much free land, that has not been homesteaded, but merely “captured” and has been taken control of. In this vein I wanted to talk about your principle of ownership being “9/10ths of the law”. If you remember I asked you the question “what if we know someone’s claim to property is illegitimate, but we don’t know who the specific legitimate claim belongs to” and your answer was roughly that ownership being 9/10ths of the law, unless we knew who rightfully owned the land that the current owner is “legitimate”. I had a question regarding this line of reasoning, and applying it to the “state”. It would seem that arguments against the legitimacy of the state become more difficult assuming this line of reason to be true. As one could say the state “possesses” the land we operate on now, and therefore can legitimately set the rules. Now, even if we know the state accumulated this land, and its possession illegitimately, namely through conquest, but we don’t necessarily know who the “legitimate” owners are. So it would seem like the state is operating as a quasi legitimate entity given this line of reason. I would love to hear your thoughts. As always

Best Regards,

Zane Mooneyhan

Dear Zane:

I don’t know about “significantly.” That’s an empirical claim, for which you’d need some econometric analysis. But, yes, govt ownership of land shifts its supply curve to the left, thus raising land prices.

The libt solution would NOT be to sell off this govt land, since the govt would then get the money, and it already has too much money at its disposal. The second solution, as you say, is correct.

I appreciate your evil vicious () attempt to undermine my claim that possession is .9 of the law. But I don’t think this criticism succeeds, since the counter claimer against the govt has an easy case: the govt get’s all its money thru coercion. The libt solution would be to privatize all govt property.

Subject: Housing Guarantee

Hey Professor Block! Tis’ me again, haha. I was wondering if you have any sources on federal housing guarantees? This seems to be a bit of  another one of the proposals of those modern monetary guys. Besides just inducing business cycles by the massive credit expansion that would be necessary for this operation to occur, what are some other economic consequences of the govt literally allotting houses to all the homeless in the country. Also, if I understand correctly the ABCT focuses on the lowering of interest rates through credit expansion. So it doesn’t necessarily just focus on monetary expansion, but that done through the credit markets. And I know there is a bit of a distinction between mises and hayek here, where hayek focussed more on interest rates being set low and then having expansion at that lowered level, whereas mises, looked more at credit expansion as a whole, pushing down the interest rates lower than they would be backed by voluntary savings (which, to my understanding is why most misesians are full reservers, and many hayekians are fractional, as they don’t hold that all expansion will necessarily insight the boom). So my question is, if not the credit markets, where can new money enter into the economy?

Dear Zane:

The govt can just purchase a stock or a bond, or a car or a toothbrush for that matter, with newly created money. Of course it can do so thru the credit markets, but it need not utilize that route.

Best regards,

Walter

Subject: School

Professor Block, I want to thank you so much again for everything you’ve done, even if it’s just been two short 1 hr interviews with us it has meant the world. And you are always so apt to reply to emails and supply sources on everything. I’m going to be completely honest, I already went to college once, for mechanical engineering (I’m 21) but I dropped out, I hated it, did not enjoy it one bit. However when I discovered Economics, especially austrian econ and Philosophy, there has been a fire ignited in me for knowledge. There’s so much I want to know and learn, and while I feel like I’m always good at learning on my own, I  have hundreds of books at my disposal, blogs, lectures, etc. But part of me wants to come back to school, and really learn these things, beyond just what I do on my own. You have been such an inspiration in my journey of learning, the amount of stuff you have written is awe inspiring, and I too, want to lead the future to freedom. So that being said, I have been looking at coming to Loyola, but there’s a problem, when I did my year of college, bc I hated it so much, i rarely went to class, I never took my tests, essentially, instead of just dropping out, I failed most of my classes, so I have a low GPA now because of it. I feel like i’m stuck between a rock and a hard place and I’m not sure what to do, If I applied to Loyola I don’t think I would get in, in fact I’m not even sure how I would afford it, but that’s besides the point because I could always take out loans. So I guess my question is, what do I do? Do I keep going on at it alone, learning as much as I can, and trying to teach through my social media platform as much as possible, or do I try and get some sort of degree, even if it can’t be at loyola? As always I look forward to your response

Dear Zane:

Thanks for your kind words.

It is not a matter of praxeology, it is an empirical matter as to whether or not you will be accepted by Loyola. Way to test this? Apply!

I’ve spend two hours with you an zoom. I was VERY impressed with your analyis of the economics of property rights, homesteading, precluding. I’d be delighted to write an excellent letter of recommendation.

In my first econ class I received a D. I almost failed out because instead of answering exam questions, I would subject them to criticism. You and I are on the same wavelength.

Walter

We are available whenever you are! This weekend on the 9th or if thats too short notice, whenever works for you. You can let us know when you’re available and we will make room!

Also, our last interview was on December 11th, we talked mostly about libertarianism and a little bit about praxeology. We went  through evictionism and talked a bit about the blockean proviso and a little bit about children under a voluntary society.

Subject: Objective Law Interview

Hi professor Block! It’s Zane again, now that its the new year I was hoping that we could set up that interview on objective law and “minarchy”. I hope the holidays went well for you, me and a bunch of the guys have been reading through the list you gave us and we have come up with some critiques we thought you might like to hear. Also I just finished your book on privatizing roads, and I just started reading your critique of public choice as well as “defending the undefendable”. Anyways I hope to hear back from you soon!

Thank you,

Zane Mooneyhan

Rothbard, Murray N. 1973. For a New Liberty, Macmillan, New York; http://mises.org/rothbard/newlibertywhole.asp

In the view of Rothbard (1973, emphasis added by present author): “For centuries, the State (or more strictly, individuals acting in their roles as ‘members of the government’) has cloaked its criminal activity in high-sounding rhetoric. For centuries the State has committed mass murder and called it ‘war’; then ennobled the mass slaughter that ‘war’ involves. For centuries the State has enslaved people into its armed battalions and called it ‘conscription’ in the ‘national service.’ For centuries the State has robbed people at bayonet point and called it ‘taxation.’ In fact, if you wish to know how libertarians regard the State and any of its acts, simply think of the State as a criminal band, and all of the libertarian attitudes will logically fall into place.”

Rothbard, Murray N. 1977. “Do you hate the state?” The Libertarian Forum, Vol. 10, No. 7, July; https://www.lewrockwell.com/rothbard/rothbard75.html

“…there is no sign that David Friedman in any sense hates the existing American State or the State per se, hates it deep in his belly as a predatory gang of robbers, enslavers, and murderers. No, there is simply the cool conviction that anarchism would be the best of all possible worlds, but that our current set-up is pretty far up with it in desirability. For there is no sense in Friedman that the State – any State – is a predatory gang of criminals.”

“The radical cannot think in such terms, because the radical regards the State as our mortal enemy, which must be hacked away at wherever and whenever we can. To the radical libertarian, we must take any and every opportunity to chop away at the State, whether it’s to reduce or abolish a tax, a budget appropriation, or a regulatory power. And the radical libertarian is insatiable in this appetite until the State has been abolished, or – for minarchists – dwindled down to a tiny, laissez-faire role.”

Subject: Objective Law and the Market of Force

Hi Professor Block,

It’s Zane again, sorry if I’m emailing you a ton there is just so much I want to learn and I figured what’s the best source of information if not the great Walter Block himself. I had a question about some objectivist or minarchist critiques of Anarchism or Anarcho Capitalism, in that, they believe there must be a a single monopoly on force in order to ensure peaceful interactions between people. As rights are objective, there must be an objective standard upon which to juxtaposed these rights violations. Essentially the argument is that the market is summed up as peaceful voluntary interactions between people, therefore there can not be a market in force, as this would be a contradiction in terms. I was wondering if you had any material on this topic that I could refer to, or just your general thoughts on the idea of “objective law”. To me it seems like a silly concept, your law can be as “objective” as you want it to be, it’s going to be subjectively applied and interpreted by fallible human beings motived by their own wants. Not only this if their government is “voluntarily funded” this would mean the interaction between the govt and the people is “peaceful and voluntary” thus this fits the definition of “market” under their own standard, thus there is, in fact, a market for violence. The idea that a central entity must protect property rights and subdue any competing companies from arising seems antithetical,  to the very principle of property rights. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Best Regards,

Zane Mooneyha

In 1989, Vietnamese Foreign Minister Nguyen Co Thach averred: “The Americans couldn’t destroy Hanoi, but we have destroyed our city by the very low rents.” (Dhillon, 2007). According to Assar Lindbeck, 1972: “In many cases, rent control appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city except for bombing.” In the view of Gunner Myrdal, 1965: “Rent control has in certain western countries constituted, maybe, the worst example of poor planning by governments lacking courage and vision.” For further elaboration, see

By the simplest and most basic economics, a price artificially raised tends to cause more to be supplied and less to be demanded than when prices are left to be determined by supply and demand in a free market. The result is a surplus, whether the price that is set artificially high is that of farm produce or labor.

Making it illegal to pay less than a given amount does not make a worker’s productivity worth that amount—and, if it is not, that worker is unlikely to be employed. Yet minimum wage laws are almost always discussed politically in terms of the benefits they confer on workers receiving those wages. Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they either lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force.”)
