Walter Block: Austro-LIbertarianism For Beginners & Non-Beginners
July 7, 2014
By Luis Rivera III
A quick but very dense definition of libertarianism provided by Dr. Walter Block. Block tells the interviewer what economics is worried about: how to deal with the problem of scarcity. How Austrian economists use praxeology as opposed to logical positivism for economics. The pseudo hypothesis that mainstream economists believe in and how Austrians believe in economic laws. Apodicticly true statements. Suggested books for the novice readers and for the readers who are more familiar with these ideas. Websites recommended by Dr. Block.
Henry Hazlitt’s Economics In One Lesson, the most read Austrian Economics primer ever.
