Jury Nullification, Israel, and Libertarianism

Update: 2025-07-25

Description

Walter Block – a professor of economics at Loyola University – is arguably the most prolific libertarian alive. He also was recently kicked out of two libertarian organizations for the crime of supporting Israel. In this episode, Block discusses his expulsion, the wisdom of ignoring a judge's instructions when serving on a jury, and the benefits of privatizing roads, sidewalks, and much else.

Some of Dr. Block's books:

The Privatization of Roads and Highways

Defending the Undefendable

The Classical Liberal Case for Israel

Water Capitalism: The Case for Privatizing Oceans, Rivers, Lakes, and Aquifers
