Summary/Abstract: I have known Walter Block for many years and consider him a colleague and friend, but at the beginning of my career journey in Austrian economics he was an unlikely influence on my graduate studies and research path trajectory. Here, I defend him as a prominent proponent of the “thin” version of libertarianism, where he has argued in favor of principle and theory, over personal bias, expediency, and politics.
