Kaizen 17 — the John Allison interview
The latest issue of Kaizen [pdf] features my interview with John Allison, recently retired CEO of BB&T bank. The theme of the interview is Entrepreneurial Banking, 
about which Allison is perfectly positioned to speak. During his 20-year tenure as CEO, BB&T’s assets grew from $4.5 billion to $152 billion and, almost more impressively, BB&T has weathered the financial storms of the last few years comfortably and remains healthy and one of the largest banks in the nation. A related post on Allison is here.
Also featured in this issue of Kaizen are the latest CEE student essay contest winners — Jennifer Harrolle, Alyssa Baggio, and Derek Garcia — the Philosophy Department’s Walhout Prize winner, Nathaniel Branch, and a report on guest speaker David R. Henderson, and other news from the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship.
If you would like to receive a complimentary issue of the print version of Kaizen, please email your name and postal address to CEE [at] Rockford [dot] edu.

Dear Dr. Hicks, I love the work you’ve done. What’s more I actually use it. I really like “Nietzsche and the Nazis” and I use it when discussing our current political ideology with friends. Scary! Without your work I would not be able to stand against the onslaught of misinformation.
But I think there is an error on your pdf at: http://www.stephenhicks.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/nn-appendix2.pdf
“THE COMMON INTEREST BEFORE SELF-INTEREST.”

This should be NSDAP, no? I am looking on Wikipedia.
Thanks for that, Mark.
Also for noticing the typo. I appreciate it.
