Walter Block Challenges Don Bodreaux to Debate
Dear Don:
I have been a long time admirer of your numerous op eds and letters to the editor setting straight people on things like the min wage law, tariffs, rent control, etc. So, this letter is part fan mail.
However, you and I also part company on several other issues, see below. So, I’d like to challenge you to a public debate on any of them. (I just learned that you like public debates, as do I, otherwise I would not be making you this offer: http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2018/08/debate-challenge.html)
I’m copying on this Bob Wenzel, since it is through his blog that I learned of your enjoyment of public debates, and, also, another buddy of mine, Gene Epstein, who puts on public debates in NYC, and might do so for the two of us.
Best regards,
Walter
