Walter Block, the prolific libertarian
theorist, Austrian economist, and professor at Loyola University New Orleans, reached an unbelievable milestone the other day: 100 peer-reviewed articles published that he co-authored with his undergraduate students.
Now 100 peer-reviewed articles is four times as many as most Loyola professors can boast in their entire careers, much less just with students.
No other professor has come close to matching this feat. I don't think any other professor has even tried.
This is amazing, right? The university must be so proud! Where else can parents find a professor so committed to his students' long-term success?
Nope.
So far, not a peep from Loyola University.
This, no doubt, is because Walter is a "sexist" for not believing in the gender wage gap, and because he "supports slavery" (yes, people really are this dumb) because the New York Times took him out of context.
Can you imagine Walter, who actually favors reparations for slavery, "supporting slavery"? His point was that the objectionable part about slavery was the coercive aspect, and that everything else was incidental. The Times, which wanted to make Rand Paul (whose family has long known Walter) look bad, twisted this to make it sound as if Walter was saying that some aspects of slavery might be
nice.
A decent human being running Loyola University would have admonished the Times for its libelous reporting and defended his extremely accomplished and widely published professor. But that's only for leftists. Anyone who isn't p.c. will be abandoned at the first opportunity, and sternly lectured for views everyone on Earth knows he doesn't hold and would never
hold.
Meanwhile, lots of Loyola students refuse to take Walter's classes because of the buzzwords: why, we've heard he's a "racist" and a "sexist"!
Here's a guy who gets articles published for them in academic journals, who cares more about them than any professor they'll ever meet, and who even got
some articles published that he disagreed with!
He is, in short, the model professor.
It is shameful how he has been treated.
Now Walter doesn't have his own podcast, but he does have friends --
lots of them. And some of those friends, like me, have podcasts. And you'd better believe I used my podcast to get the word out about Walter's amazing milestone. Libertarian blogs all over the place are doing likewise.
Thanks to my podcast, I've been able to reach a gigantic number of people, spreading ideas that are, shall we say, out of favor with the
mainstream.
Chances are, you have zero interest in starting a podcast -- and I'm not going to try to talk you into it, either.
(Even though they're a blast.)
But plenty of other people certainly are, and
that's where I come in.
This week I'm giving you a step-by-step podcasting course that you can sell as your own. I even hired a designer to create a beautiful sales page for you, so that all the work is done.
You can be collecting these products I routinely give away as bonuses, and someday have a
very nice information product business of your own. (Someday, like today.)
I'm offering it as a bonus on a $9 product.
If you can show me someone else who will give you your own course to sell, complete with sales page, as a free bonus on a $9 product, I'd like to meet that guy.
(By the way, a few of you who picked this up yesterday didn't get access to my bonus because of a tech issue that we've since resolved; just forward your receipt to me at this address and I'll send it to you directly. Thanks for your patience.)
