Another good episode, too bad Dr. Block couldn't be there.
I'm actually reading through the book right now (by coincidence), I really like it. Highly recommended and easy to read too.

Can we view the whole episode anywhere?

Defending the Undefendable is one of my favorites (a lot of people here could benefit from reading chapter 23, The Importer, just sayin' :) ). I wish Walter Block would have cancelled whatever he had going on because this would have been some epic exposure for him. Awesome that Stossel mentioned his book.

Dr. Block is one of the best. I think books like Defending the Undefendable and Jeff Tucker's Bourbon for Breakfast are some of the best means for getting people to embrace liberty, particularly those who are on the fence. Both works really show how the government causes so many of the difficulties in our lives, from the trivial to the disastrous.

All add Dr. Yuri Maltsev to the list of contemporary champions of liberty who can truly reach a wide variety of people. Just search for him on Youtube or Mises.org if you're not familiar with him.

Here's the playlist - channel owner is an IAAC - Ron Paul hater. He still posts a lot of liberty oriented content, ironically enough...

Ha, I just watched this today. I've gotten into a habit recently of playing video games on mute while listening to lectures on the mises.org youtube channel.

interesting tidbit about Block-in the preface of the original "Defending The Undefendable", there is a ringing endorsement of the text by none other than F.A. Hayek. :cool:
