03/10/2011 Luigi Marco Bassani

Jeffrey Tucker interviews Marco Bassani, professor of History of Political Theory at the University of Milan, and author of ‘Liberty, State, and Union: The Political Theory of Thomas Jefferson’ (available for purchase here). Recorded at the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on February 3rd, 2011.

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.
