Episode 5: Walter E. Block (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Block) is Harold E. Wirth Endowed Chair and Professor of Economics at Loyola University in New Orleans. Here's my review of Walter's book: http://www.aguanomics.com/2017/08/review-water-capitalism.html Walter added a comment: "You inquired as to the difference between suing for pollution and a govt prohibition of pollution. I don't think I did very well in answering. Let me try again. Option A: The govt passed a law against fraud. Yet, I can still sue you for fraud if you engage in it. Option B: The govt also passed a law against pollution. Yet, I can't still sue you for trespass of smoke particles onto my lawn or lungs if you engage in it. In addition, the govt law has got so much else in it not analogous to its law against fraud: CAFÉ standards, carbon taxes, etc. In sharp contrast there's no tax on fraud." To this I clarified (and he agreed): "I think you're clarification needs to include the (obvious) factor: the government often declares its regulation to have a monopoly, thus prohibiting private lawsuits, etc."

The Peace and Liberty Podcast is Back! I'm joined by Walter block to start off the year right and we dive into many topics. How do you survive school as an Austrian-leaning student? What colleges should you choose from? How do we privatize everything? What is the correct libertarian position on borders? We discuss all that and more in the episode, but make sure to check out Walters new book that he co-authored titled Space Capitalism: How Humans will Colonize Planets, Moons, and Asteroids.

Transcript below. Walter and me at my dad's house in Prairieville, Louisiana, for a (Catholic) baptism party for my son, October 2003 My longtime friend Walter Block was recently in town (Houston) and stayed over at my house one night. While we visited we had several discussions on libertarian theory, as we usually do when we see each other. He agreed to let me record a discussion on one of the few issues we do not completely agree on: voluntary slavery; we recorded this last night (Jan. 26, 2013). Walter believes voluntary slavery contracts ought to be enforceable in a private law society, and in this I believe he is wrong and in the minority of libertarians (with Nozick, say). We touched on a variety of issues, including debtor's prison, how acquisition of body-rights differs from Lockean homesteading, and the like.

I disagree with pro-voluntary slavery libertarians, like Walter Block (Thomas L. Knapp is another, though he pettifogs on the use of the term "voluntary slavery"). Jeremiah Dyke: I too think it's insane not to have the ability to contract any percentage of your labor for any duration of time. [Sarcasm] Stephan Kinsella: This is not an argument. Abilities don't come from opinions. Let's be clear: to justify voluntary slavery means you have to justify the use of force by a would-be "master" against a would-be "slave", if the slave tries to run away or changes his mind or disobeys an order. The libertarian thinks use of violence against another person's body is unjustified aggression, unless it is (a) consented to, or (b) in response to aggression.  But the slave has not committed aggression, so (b) is not a possible justification. Some alienabilists disingenuously argue that it IS "aggression" since the master owns the slave's body, so it's trespass (aggression) for the slave to use the master's property (the slave's body) in ways the owner (master) does no...
