A friend recently pointed me towards this book: "Libertarian Literary and Media Criticism: Essays in Memory of Paul A. Cantor" edited by Jo Ann Cavallo.
Dr. Cavallo is a libertarian professor of literature at Columbia, which sounds like a pretty unique combination!
A brief description:
The volume’s contributors apply libertarian philosophy and Austrian economics to both literature and media, from early modern drama to novels to comic books, cinema, and television series. Several chapters contrast capitalism with statism, focusing on the market economy versus central planning, freedom versus government coercion. Not surprisingly, the economic theories of Adam Smith, Ludwig von Mises, and F.A. Hayek run through several essays. Contributors also engage with other theorists and writers as diverse as Thomas Hobbes, Charles Darwin, Thomas Huxley, Friedrich Nietzsche, Leo Strauss, and Judith Butler.
I'm putting it on my list!
