Michael Debates Walter Block on anarcho-capitalism, with Tom Woods Moderating

About this episode

In this special episode of The Rational Egoist, host Michael Liebowitz debates Walter Block, the Harold E. Wirth Endowed Chair and Professor of Economics at Loyola University, New Orleans, on the merits and challenges of anarcho-capitalism.

With Tom Woods, renowned historian and libertarian commentator, moderating the discussion, the debate dives deep into the philosophy, practicality, and implications of a stateless society.

Despite some microphone and technical issues, Liebowitz and Block bring sharp perspectives to the table, making this an intellectually charged conversation that explores the future of freedom and governance. Tune in for a dynamic and rigorous debate on one of the most controversial topics in libertarian thought.

Michael Leibowitz, host of The Rational Egoist podcast, is a philosopher and political activist who draws inspiration from Ayn Rand’s philosophy, advocating for reason, rational self-interest, and individualism.

His journey from a 25-year prison sentence to a prominent voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities highlights the transformative impact of embracing these principles. Leibowitz actively participates in political debates and produces content aimed at promoting individual rights and freedoms.

He is the co-author of “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime” and “View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty,” which explore societal issues and his personal evolution through Rand’s teachings.
