SOME UNSUSPECTED APPLICATIONS OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF LIBERTARIANISM
Journal Title: MEST Journal - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
This is an interview with Professor Walter E. Block, one of the most important contemporary theoreticians of libertarian political philosophy, and economics in the tradition of Austrian School. It is a pedagogical exercise around the ideas of freedom and is addressed to all those who wish to know or deepen their knowledge about Block's theory. The methodology used was the “structured interview”, very common in qualitative research, which consists of a list of pre-established questions that were answered in writing. Four thematic areas are considered: Block´s life and career, his opinions on political reality, his theory, and his final reflections. In the interview, an emphasis was made on the Hispanic “world”, a place to which the defenders of freedom have paid attention in recent times, due to the consolidation of totalitarian regimes (Venezuela is the case that stands out the most), and to the presence important social problems. However, it is also important to note that the Hispanic world has also been important for the development of libertarian theory because there have emerged great thinkers of this current, which are widely mentioned by Block.
