Walter Edward Block (born August 21, 1941) is an American Austrian School economist and anarcho-capitalist theorist.[1] He was the Harold E. Wirth Eminent Scholar Endowed Chair in Economics at the School of Business at Loyola University New Orleans and a former senior fellow of the non-profit think-tank Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama.[2] He has been criticized for many statements considered racist or sexist, including endorsing the institution of slavery and racial segregation; Block has argued his libertarian and anarchist views are being misrepresented.[3][4][5][6][7]
