Walter Edward Block (n. , New York City, New York, SUA) este un economist și anarho-capitalist american.[3] În prezent, este profesor de economie la Școala de Business în cadrul Universitatea Loyola din New Orleans⁠(d) și membru senior al think-tank-ului Institutul Ludwig von Mises din Auburn, Alabama⁠(d).[4] A ajuns cunoscut datorită lucrării sale Pledoarii incomode⁠(d) (1976) în care apără activități ilegale și scandaloase precum prostituția, proxenetismul, consumul de droguri sau specula, fiind considerate de Block fapte voluntare, care nu produc victime.

Biografie

Walter Block s-a născut în Brooklyn, New York, fiul unor părinți evrei - Abraham Block, un contabil autorizat⁠(d), și Ruth Block, asistent juridic; despre aceștia, Block a susținut că erau liberali⁠(d).[5] A urmat liceul James Madison⁠(d), unde Bernie Sanders era membru în echipa sa de atletism.[6] Acesta a obținut un doctorat în economie la Universitatea Columbia în baza unei teze pe subiectul reglementării chiriilor⁠(d) în Statele Unite sub coordonarea profesorului Gary Becker.[7] Block se consideră un „ateu fidel”.[8]

Block a declarat într-un interviu că „în anii '50 și '60 eram doar un alt comunist care trăia în Brooklyn”.[9] Acesta a devenit libertarian după ce a participat la o prelegere susținută de Ayn Rand în timpul studenției.[10] Ulterior, Block a luat masa alături de Rand, Nathaniel Branden⁠(d) și Leonard Peikoff⁠(d), unde Branden i-a sugerat să citească Revolta lui Atlas de Rand și Economia într-o singură lecție⁠(d) de Henry Hazlitt.[10] Convertirea sa la libertarianism s-a materializat după ce l-a întâlnit pe anarho-capitalistul Murray Rothbard.[10] Deși Block este anarho-capitalist și, spre deosebire de obiectiviștii lui Ayn Rand, se împotrivește ideii de guven limitat sau minimal, acesta a rămas „un mare admirator” al lui Rand și consideră că lucrarea Revolta lui Atlas este „cel mai bun romas scris vreodată”.[necesită citare]

Cariera

Walter Block a obținut o licență în filozofie la Brooklyn College⁠(d) în 1964 și un doctorat în economie de la Universitatea Columbia în 1972. A predat la Universitatea din Central Arkansas⁠(d), Holy Cross College⁠(d), Baruch College⁠(d) și la Universitatea Rutgers. În prezent, deține funcția Harold E. Wirth Eminent Scholar Endowed Chair în economie la Butt College of Business, Universitatea Loyola din New Orleans.[11]

Din 1979 până în 1991, Block a fost economist senior la Institutul Fraser⁠(d).[12] În prezent, este membru senior la think-tank-ul Institutul Ludwig von Mises, care a publicat diverse texte redactate de acesta începând din 2000.[13][14]

Începând din 1971, lucrările sale au fost publicate în Journal of Libertarian Studies, Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics⁠(d), Review of Austrian Economics⁠(d), American Journal of Economics and Sociology⁠(d), Journal of Labor Economics⁠(d) și Public Choice;[15][16] de asemenea, articolele sale apar în Psychology Today⁠(d).[17]
