Defending The Undefendable by Sandra Block

A provocative collection of short essays that challenges conventional moral outrage by offering libertarian defenses of people and activities commonly condemned by society. Using economic reasoning and arguments about individual liberty, property rights, and voluntary exchange, it contends that many supposedly immoral or harmful behaviors are either less harmful than portrayed or are consequences of coercive state policies, and that toleration and market solutions often yield better outcomes. Written with wit and rhetorical shock value, the essays aim to unsettle moral prejudices and prompt readers to rethink legal and ethical responses.
