Summary/Abstract: In the summer of 2007, I left my native Sweden to pursue a doctorate in applied economics at the University of Missouri, a first step on route to a career in academia. I was already a libertarian of the market anarchism variety for about a decade, so I was well aware of Walter Block. He is, as he was back then, very well-known, appreciated, and a provocative voice in the global libertarian movement. So it is safe to say that I had read plenty of his articles and probably a few of his books too. While I had never met Walter in person, we had both written for mises.org and lewrockwell.com and contributed to many of the other websites and ezines that were arenas for libertarian discourse and debate back then.
