Resumo

A bstract . Walter Block’s amusing and popular Defending the Undefendable offers an intentionally shocking collection of short chapters, each praising a different “rogue” of modern society—including the pimp, slumlord, and corrupt cop—from a libertarian viewpoint. However, Block’s defense of the “heroic” counterfeiter is based on faulty economic analysis and is hence completely unwarranted.
