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.

I have to say, I find this to be an exciting prospect! The development of design and aesthetics over time will be wonderful to watch. I've always had a soft spot for "applied art" - I have done a lot of work in the fashion industry and love fashion history, for this very reason.
ReplyDeleteI think more and more people are over that silly notion of "selling out." Just for the record, as a poet and playwright, I am always available for "selling out" my talents. I do support free markets after all! :-)
ReplyDeleteTroy, your posts and insights are always artful. One day you'll get the level of remuneration your art deserves.
ReplyDeleteHopefully soon. The bills aren't waiting around! :-)
