03/14/2011 Allen Mendenhall

Jeffrey Tucker interviews Allen Mendenhall, a Ph.D. student at Auburn University, and discusses the role of Austrian Economics in the field of literary criticism. Recorded at the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on January 27th, 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.
