Rockford College philosophy professor Stephen Hicks asks me some questions. Here’s the result.
Here are the questions:
Why did you become an economist or political-economist?
Does liberal society need an economic theory, and if so why?
Your books:
Key themes from Making Great Decisions in Business and Life?
Key themes from The Joy of Freedom?
Key purpose of The Fortune/Concise Encyclopedia of Economics?
The past: What three historical economists/thinkers have you learned most from?
What is most important from economist/thinker 1?
What is most important from economist/thinker 2?
What is most important from economist/thinker 3?
What major historical economist/thinker do you most disagree with?
The present:
What is the hardest problem in economics/political economy you are working on now?
What is the most challenging criticism of your views?
What is the state of liberal thought today among political-economists?
The future:
To bring about a more liberal society, what key practical steps can and should be taken?

I highly recommend professor Hicks’ book Explaining Postmodernism. Very insightful and fun read.
