Jury Nullification, Israel, and Libertarianism

About this episode

Walter Block discusses his expulsion from libertarian organizations, jury nullification, and the benefits of privatization.

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.
