Defending the Undefendable is a 1976 book by American economist Walter Block. It has been translated into ten foreign languages. The book advances the thesis that various people are stigmatized for engaging in acts that are often illegal or disreputable yet do not involve violence or violation of property. Block further proposes these people may in fact benefit society. Each chapter examines a different type of person, including prostitutes, blackmailers, misers and litterers. The book’s 2013 sequel, Defending the Undefendable II: Freedom in All Realms, included a foreword by Ron Paul.

  • Овцы в волчьих шкурах. В защиту порицаемых (англ. Defending the Undefendable) — это книга американского экономиста Уолтера Блока, впервые выпущенная в 1976 году. Книга развивает идею о том, что различные члены общества подвергаются стигматизации за совершение действий, которые часто являются нелегальными или аморальными, но не нарушают принцип ненападения. Блок также утверждает, что такие люди даже могут принести пользу обществу. Каждая глава повествует о разных людях, например: о проститутках, шантажистах, сутенёрах, наркоманах. (ru)
