'''Walter Edward Block, PhD''' (b. August {{Event |year=1941 |event=Birth |summary=Austrian School economist}}), [[Austrian School]] economist and author, was one of the first people to run on the Libertarian Party ticket, running for New York State Assembly in [[1972]]. He has been a member of the Party since 1969. Since then he has been very active in the LP. When he worked at the Fraser Institute in Vancouver, British Columbia from 1979-1991, he was active in the Canadian LP. When he was a professor at Holy Cross from 1991-1997, he was active in the Massachusetts LP. When he was a professor at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway from 1997-2001, he was active in the Arkansas LP. He has been Harold E. Wirth Eminent Scholar Endowed Chair and Professor of Economics Loyola University New Orleans since 2001, and, similarly, have been active in the Louisiana LP. “Active” to me means, mainly, giving speeches at the annual convention. He has also done so for several other state conventions. The ones that spring to mind include Florida, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Utah, Michigan, Oregon, Ohio, Washington, California and Alabama. He has also given talks at several of the National LP conventions, the ones held in Colorado, California and Louisiana, if memory serves. | '''Walter Edward Block, PhD''' (b.
