Brodin to Speak on Capitalism and the Media
Dr. Eric Brodin, former Lundy Professor of Business
Philosophy at Campbell University, will be the featured speaker at
the FREE Forum Lecture, Thursday, March 18, at 5 p.m. in Lynch
Auditorium of the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business on the Campbell
campus. Brodin will speak on the portrayal of capitalism in the mass
media, discussing how the media shapes our perceptions of capitalism
by possibly fostering an anti-capitalistic mentality. Admission is
free and open to the public.
A native of Sweden, Brodin received a Bachelor of Arts in
English language and literature from San Francisco State College and a Master
of Arts in Scandinavian languages and literature from the University of
California at Berkeley. He earned a doctorate in political science from the
University of Geneva in Switzerland.
Brodin immigrated to the United States in 1948 and became a
citizen of the U.S. in 1955. Prior to coming to Campbell, Brodin held
positions as a teaching and research assistant in the Department of Dramatic
Arts at the University of California at Berkeley, staff genealogist at the
Genealogical Society in Salt Lake City, UT, and as assistant to the city
librarian at Daly City, CA. He also served as director of the Intercollegiate
Studies Institute (western states) in San Francisco, CA, and as director of
the Foundation for International Studies at Malmo, Sweden.
His published works include articles in National Review,
Modern Age, Catholic Digest, and Conservative Digest,
among numerous others, and he is the co-author of two books, Case Studies
on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and
Internationell Konservatism. Brodin’s column on international affairs and
politics appears weekly in the Harnett County newspaper, the Community
Leader. Brodin has also lectured at more than 50 colleges and universities
in the United States and Europe and for numerous civic groups and
international scholarly organizations.
The FREE Forum Lecture Series is sponsored by the Lundy Chair
of Philosophy of Business and is an activity of the Adam Smith Club/SIFE
(Students Involved in Free Enterprise) at Campbell University. The Lundy Chair
and the student clubs are organizations that believe in free enterprise and
limited government.
