Some of the essays acknowledge what Walter Block regards as his contributions to the promotion of Austrian economics and the libertarian political economic philosophy, while others go further, far more so, and push out the boundaries of what we know about these two disciplines. Topics covered by this Festschrift include: labor economics, the philosophy of free enterprise, environmentalism and economic freedom, business ethics, private property rights, tax evasion, free market transportation, radical libertarianism, constitutional economics, libertarian punishment theory, corporate governance mechanisms, etc.

In this book, the author navigates the complexities of the new world order, examining the shifting power dynamics between the United States, China, and Russia. The book examines the limits of American power, the rise of China as a global superpower, and the Sino‒Russian relationship in the post-Soviet era. It explores the unraveling of the post-Cold War liberal order, the emergence of autocratic capitalism, and the push for a new world financial architecture led by BRICS. The author analyzes the significance of the global south, the pivotal bilateral relationship between China and India, and the waning of liberal capitalism. He also discusses the prospect for global public goods in a multipolar world and offers a glimpse into the future of China and the multipolar world.
