 Exploring Capitalist Fiction
"Professor Younkins makes another contribution to the literature of
freedom, this time by showing us what pro-capitalist
fiction-and anti-capitalist, too-can teach us about
business and its enemies." (Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.,
Chairman and CEO, Ludwig von Mises Institute)
"I am a testament to the validity of the theme of this
book, which is that fiction can be a powerful tool for
business education. A novel, Atlas Shrugged, changed my
life and was far more important to me in successfully
leading a business than any nonfiction book or college
course." (John Allison, President and CEO, Cato
Institute)

 Philosophers of Capitalism: Menger, Mises, Rand
and Beyond
"I
commend these essays as keys to understanding the
underlying trends in the current scene in politics and
economics in America and the West. Dr. Younkins links
the work of giants like Aristotle, Menger, Mises, and
Rand to give new meaning to applied Objectivism and
Austrian Economics. I speak as one who earned his
doctorate in economics under Ludwig von Mises at New
York University and contributed some 400 articles in the
Wall Street Journal."
--William H. Peterson, Adjunct Scholar, Heritage
Foundation
