Subject: A couple quick questions….
Dr. Block, I’d like to say that I am a huge fan of yours (I especially enjoy the ‘Radical Austrianism, Radical Libertarianism’ lecture series you did for The Mises Institute). I do have a couple questions for you, one that I don’t feel I’ve ever heard a really good answer to by anyone. I was having a debate the other day with an acquaintance about if spanking children violates the NAP, my way of thinking is that it obviously does, he argued that it didn’t. I am curious what your thoughts on the topic are. Also, like I said, I’m a big fan. I have recently started on a quest to track down my biggest influences and have them sign something for a ‘wall of freedom’ I’ve envisioned for my ‘man cave’. Could you be persuaded into signing something for it? It could be a napkin, a picture, a pocket constitution. I’d be happy to send a SASE, if it’d be easier. I thank you very kindly for your time and I wish you all the best, JT.
Dear JT: Here are my views on this matter, below. Sure, I’ll be glad to sign something for you and send it to you. Please, give me your mailing address.
