Jo Ann Cavallo, who chairs the Department of Italian at Columbia University, found herself drawn to libertarianism and the Austrian School of economics because of — who else? — Ron Paul. She’s now bringing these ideas into her scholarly work, with outstanding results.
Also, I can’t resist asking her about Machiavelli, a figure I’ve never been sure I’ve gotten quite right.
