Defending the Undefendable is a book by Walter Block originally published in 1976 which defends various classes of individuals whom conventional wisdom would regard as undesirables. Block is best known for the book which Marcus Epstein describes as defending "pimps, drug dealers, blackmailers, corrupt policemen, and loan sharks as 'economic heroes'." The book advocates for the application of the non-aggression principle of libertarianism also in non-popular cases and support privatization of all public services. It has been translated into ten foreign languages.
