Summary

In this episode of the Lions of Liberty Podcast, host Marc Clair is joined by well-known Austrian economist and anarcho-capitlast, Dr. Walter Block. Dr. Block talks about his early days in libertarianism, including how he met Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, and Ludwig von Mises. They continue to discuss the connection between Austrian economics and libertarianism, the various types of libertarians, and the important distinction between criticism of fellow libertarians and attempting to excommunicate others from the movement. Dr. Block also takes a few listener questions! The Lions of Liberty Podcast will take a brief hiatus until Monday 11/18/13, when we will return with a jam-packed roster of interesting guests!
