BURTON W. FOLSOM
Dr. Burton W. Folsom, Jr., formerly a Senior Fellow in Economic Education with the Mackinac Center for Public Policy in Midland, Michigan, has taken a new position at the Center for the American Idea in Houston, Texas. He is also adjunct full professor at Northwood University. He received his Ph.D. in American history from the University of Pittsburgh, where he also taught before becoming a full professor at Murray State University.

His books include The Myth of the Robber Barons, (Young America's Foundation), which is in its third edition. He has also written Urban Capitalists: Entrepreneurs and City Growth in Pennsylvania's Lackawanna and Lehigh Regions, 1800-1920 (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1981); and edited two books, The Spirit of Freedom: Essays in American History (Foundation for Economic Education, 1994), and The Industrial Revolution and Free Trade, (Foundation for Economic Education, 1996).

His most recent book is Empire Builders: How Michigan Entrepreneurs Helped Make America Great, (Rhodes and Easton, 1997). His articles have appeared in the Journal of Southern History, Pacific Historical Review, Journal of American Studies, Great Plains Quarterly, The American Spectator, and the Wall Street Journal. He has also served as editor-in-chief of Continuity: A Journal of History.


The Center for the American Idea strives to educate teachers and students in the principles of private property, limited government, free market economics, liberty and an enduring moral order. We accomplish this by providing seminars and workshops for teachers, and educational resources for teachers and their students that include lesson plans, handouts, articles, and books. Our hope is that by doing so, the Center for the American Idea will play its part in preserving the heritage of liberty and responsibility left to our generation.

1. I guess they're making up for last week's Dem Convention...

I turned it off after that woman called in saying liberals are communists. There's only so much crap I can take in a day.
