"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Block's Erroneous Interpretations
"Block has absorbed 64 pages of The Review of Austrian Economics to attack a 19-page paper I wrote. This is his second outburst. The first, to which my 1979 paper was partly a response, appeared in The Journal of Libertarian Studies. Block should have put this matter behind him rather than stewing over it for the 16 years between his current reply and my 1979 paper. I learn nothing from reading his part of this debate, and apparently he learns nothing from reading my part, so I write this reluctantly and refuse to join in any future similar exercise in futility."
