Economics is often used in literary studies, but rarely free market economics. Austrian economics, with its emphasis on subjective value (Menger), human action (Mises), spontaneous order and knowledge (Hayek), and entrepreneurship (Kirzner), seems a particularly fruitful source of ideas for literary studies.

Joseph Conrad's Praxeology
Joseph Conrad's Praxeology by Cox at Mises.org -- an excerpt from "Literature and the Economics of Liberty: Spontaneous Order in Culture".
I'd love to read how an Austrian might interpret the works of Chesterton!
