The paper at Wabash College interviewed me to the famous Goodrich Room at the college before a very nice dinner with students and my lecture, which was sponsored by the Wabash Conservative Union. I had agreed to speak on the condition that I get a guided tour of the Goodrich Room, which was endowed and designed by Pierre F. Goodrich, the founder of the Liberty Fund.
The resulting interview is a reasonably clear statement of my beliefs (but with a few tiny errors and bits of awkward phrasing that are hard to avoid when talking into a mike!): “LIBERTY UNBOUND: AN INTERVIEW WITH DR. TOM PALMER”
(Among the errors, note my confused comment that “I don’t know if James Madison ever read Gilgamesh,” which is certainly unlikely, as the text was not rediscovered until the mid 19th century.)
Error of transcription: Frédéric Bastiat was very active in the 1840s, not the 1940s.
Whoa!! Thank you, Alex. My eyes just skated over that. I’ve written to the editors to ask them to fix it. Thank you very much!
Tom
P.S. Just got a note that it was corrected. Once again, thanks!
