Recorded during the Authors Forum at the 2016 Austrian Economics Research Conference, Samuel Bostaph (University of Dallas) discusses his recent book, Andrew Carnegie: An Economic Biography (Lexington Books, 2015). The audio version includes an introduction by Mark Thornton.

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
