Summary
The authors respond to Walter Block’s essay: “Free Will, Determinism, Libertarianism and Austrian economics.” Block’s thesis that human behavior is governed by Free Will and naysayers cannot be classified as libertarians is disputed. Counterarguments include the observation that humans are not exempt from the causality principle and Spencer, Mises, and Hayek are determinists.
