The "Freeman" articles

For my next entries into my blog, I will be reprinting articles I submitted to the "Freeman" magazine, the magazine for the Foundation for Economic Education. These are mostly articles that relate literature to economics. One of these, an article on Jane Austen was actually published, but the others were not. The editor, Sheldon Richman, was kind enough to say that they were good articles but "not for the Freeman". The first will be about that most popular of all stories, Cinderella, and what O. Henry did with that story.
