Block was born in Berlin of Jewish parents.
He studied at the University of Bonn and the University of Heidelberg and received his doctorate from the University of Tübingen.
In the mid-1840s he moved to Paris to become a statistician with the French ministry of agriculture. In 1853 he moved on to the General Statistic service. Beginning in 1856, Block edited L"Annuaire de l"economie politique et de la statistique.
He remained the editor until 1901.
Block, along with many French economists of his time, believed that economics was too complex of a subject to be amenable to mathematical techniques. A prolific writer, he was published in a number of academic and professional magazines and journals of the time.
He continued to devote himself to statistical studies as well. He died in Paris on 9 January 1901.
His principal works are: Dictionnaire de l"administration francaise (1856).
Statistique de la France (1860). Dictionnaire general de la politique (1862). L"Europe politique et sociale (1869).
Traité theorique et pratique de statistique (1878).
Les Progres de l"economie politique depuis Adam Smith (1890). And wrote in German Die Bevolkerung des franzosischen Kaiserreichs (1861).
Die Bevalkerung Spaniens and Portugals (1860). And Die Machtstellung der europäischen Staaten (1862).
