Subject: Learning Praxeology, Austrian Economics
Greetings Mr. Block, My name is B, a 26-years-old from Morocco. After failing couple of small businesses I realized how complex the world is, stopped everything, went back to my room and tried to learn how choices, people, economics, works, I felt lost and nothing made sens to me till I’ve discovered the Austrian School of economics. Learning and reading about economics the Austrian way changed m life forever, it changed the way I deal with people, the way I live, the way I see things, the way I explain the world. I felt an extraordinary enlightenment, and knew that I will never be the same again. Getting deep into Human Action and Praxeology led me to my first conversion, from Socialism to Libertarianism, and then, I had my second conversion from Libertarianism to Anarcho-Capitalism, and it feels just AMAZING. Now I wanna learn more about Austrian Economics “the radical way” and I consider you maybe the best Economist alive, I feel that Austrian Economics could not just explain things better, further more, it could really change completely the way we master economics, and to be honest, I have no interest at all in main stream economics, I feel that main stream economics is just bullshit, even if I have a technological training and I was trained to become a “positivist”, and I have a deep belief that Austrian Economics and especially Praxeology could be the science of the future, Artificial Intelligence is eating the economy and only a clear precise understanding of the Humain Action could be help entrepreneurs, economists and philosophers. I’m emailing you to ask you if there is any way to learn from you, by joining your university or attempting any program you’re animating, I really wanna learn from you personally. Thank you for your amazing talks, and thank you for reading my email. B
Dear B:
Thanks for your kind words. What academic degrees do you already have? High school graduation? College degree?
Best regards,
Walter

1000 Thanks Mr. Block for answering my email.
I have something like an Associate’s degree in general engineering, I don’t know exactly how the academic system works in the U.S. but it’s technically 2 successful years after High School, we follow the French academic system here in Morocco.
But trust me Mr. Block I’ve watched thousands of hours of Mises Institute’s video and read almost all the popular works of Rothbard, Mises, some of yours because I couldn’t buy them all, read almost all of the free e-books out there about Austrian Economics from Menger’s to Hoppe’s and Murphy’s, and I have no problem starting from the beginning.
Thank you again Mr. Block, I still can’t believe you answered me. B

If it moves, privatize it; if it doesn't move, privatize it. Since everything either moves or doesn't move, privatize everything.
"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance." Murray, N. Rothbard
"Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping toward destruction. Therefore, everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interest of everyone hangs on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us." Ludwig von Mises
