The “final” issue of the Journal of Libertarian Studies is finally available online, although it looks like there will be one more final issue for all the other accepted but unpublished articles. This is the Atlas Shrugged Symposium issue, the last issue edited by Roderick Long, and I’m proud to say it includes an article by me. Head on over to the Mises blog and check out Jeff Tucker’s announcement. You can also download my article, “Atlas Shrugged and the Importance of Dramatizing Our Values,” directly.

I liked your article “Atlas Shrugged and the Importance of Dramatizing Our Values”. It reminds me of Joseph Campbell’s works ie. the importance of the hero, the deeper drama that plays out in fiction (which I see as a specie of mythology).
Have you heard or read any of Joseph Campbell’s works? I recommend them. He was a fantastic writer and a very insightful person. His book “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” is one of his pinnacle works.

Thanks! I’ve heard of Campbell, but haven’t read anything by him yet. I’ll be sure to check that book out.
