Summary/Abstract: If I were to sum up Walter Block in one word, it would be “fearless.” From the first time I met Walter in the summer of 1990, it was clear that his hero was Murray Rothbard. Rothbard had many qualities that would make any academic jealous, but Walter chose to emulate Rothbard. The foremost Rothbardian characteristic that I see reflected in Walter is the idea of being a “happy warrior.” Walter is unflinching when it comes to debating, discussing, and reasoning with people who disagree with him. Most importantly though, it is Walter’s likable demeanor that sets him apart. He truly is a happy warrior.
