Today was another great day at FEE’s YSC. Among other things, Walter Block talked about privatizing roads, which he recently authored a book about. I also got to participate in a discussion over lunch with Block, Ben Powell, and some other students about the legitimacy of fractional reserve banking. I also went out to dinner with a group of pretty cool people from around the world and discussed various liberty-oriented topics. In addition to all of this, the weather was beautiful, so it was a wonderful day. Two photos:

One response to “Day 197 – Privatizing Roads”
I received a complementary email last week from Dr. Block in regards to my piece on LRC. That was quite a treat.
I told him that just a couple weeks earlier I had emailed a couple PDF’s of his work on private roads to the author of a transportation blog at the Dallas Morning News (or what I call, The Callous Marxist Ooze). The reporter, of course, had no interest in such material, but would rather just continue passing on the flatulence and failed ideas emanating from our DC rulers.
