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.

Thanks for this suggestion, Troy.
ReplyDeleteJust yesterday, over at The Literary Lawyer, I posted on an article in Telos. That post is available here: http://allenmendenhallblog.com/2011/04/13/law-and-the-ordinary-by-alexandre-lefebvre/.
I continue to read Telos and admire the independence and intelligence of its editors.

Indeed, where do you think I got the idea to look them up and recommend them? :-)
