  Don't leave us hanging! What was the context of this horrible accusation?

  Let me guess, immigration policy?

  Ah, the Austrian Scholars' Conference. In no other forum will Hans-Herman Hoppe be accused of leaning too far left.

  I hate that I can't be there this year. Maybe next year's ASC can be put on pay-per-view, and can culminate in a steel cage match of some kind to settle the Block-Hoppe debate after all?

  The context: Hoppe was on a panel on Law and Economics, and his paper suggested that liability in a private, libertarian legal regime should extend beyond that which Rothbard suggested in some parts of The Ethics of Liberty.

  I would go into more detail, but I wouldn't want to do Professor Hoppe's view any injustice. (Besides, what kind of University of Chicago student would I be if I let you "free ride" on my presence here?)

  You folks haven't seen an Austrian steel-cage match until you've seen Hoppe vs. Barry Smith with Smith's withering, "You see, Hans, the problem is that you're a Kantian."
