Synopsis
Professor Block's book is in a new edition from the Mises Institute, completely reset and beautifully laid out in an edition worthy of its contents. It is among the most famous of the great defenses of victimless crimes and controversial economic practices, from profiteering and gouging to bribery and blackmail. However, beneath the surface, this book is also an outstanding work of microeconomic theory that explains the workings of economic forces in everyday events and affairs.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Like New. Rodrigues (illustrator). 232 pp. Clean, fresh copy with very light shelf wear, crisp pages and clean text. Synopsis: For many years, few market economists have shown how market activities benefit the often heedless public. Ever since the days of Adam Smith, they have shown how producers and businessmen, generally motivated solely by personal gain, unwittingly confer enormous benefits on the general public. By seeking to maximize their profits and minimize losses, for example, businessmen are driven in the most efficient way. Economists have long show these truths in the most efficient way. Economists have long show these truths in the abstract; and in the recent years they have added to our knowledge by illustrating in case after case, in the concrete, the superiority and efficiency of private operation. By the inquiries of economists have been confined, with sober pedantry, to the "respectable" industries: to such activities as agriculture, natural gas, housing, airways, and so forth. Until this book, no economist has had the courage of Professor Walter Block in tackling head on the moral and economic status of the dozens of reviled, scorned, and grievously misunderstood professions and occupations in our society: those whom he rightly calls the "economic scapegoats." Fearlessly, and with logic and trenchant wit, Professor Block rehabilitates and demonstrates the considerable economic merits of such scapegoat occupations as the pimp, the blackmailer, and the slumlord.
