Alexander McCobin on Ron Paul, Objectivism and Co-founding Students For Liberty
by Anthony Wile, The Daily Bell:
Introduction: Alexander McCobin recognized the formal principles of his beliefs after reading Atlas Shrugged, a birthday present from his father in 9th grade. Throughout high school, Alexander participated in Lincoln-Douglas debate, which allowed him to study philosophy and particularly writers who advocated the philosophical principles of liberty. While an undergrad, Alexander began the University of Pennsylvania Libertarian Association to promote the education and discussion of libertarian ideas on campus and expand his horizons regarding the power of the message of liberty. With a friend he founded non-profit Perspectives Debate, Inc. to create and promote debate opportunities to high school students. In the summer of 2007, McCobin interned at the Reason Foundation and in 2008, McCobin co-founded Students for Liberty, which has grown from one conference at Columbia University into an international organization with hundreds of groups. He is currently a third-year graduate student at Georgetown University pursuing his Ph.D. in philosophy with areas of interest in political philosophy and business ethics.
Daily Bell: Give us some background on yourself. Where did you grow up? What did your mom and dad do?
Alexander McCobin: I’m from York, Pennsylvania, home of York Peppermint Patties, York Air Conditioning, York Barbell and Harley-Davidson. My father was a bank examiner for the FDIC until he retired a few years ago. My mother has had several professions ranging from being an auditor of York Hospital to substitute teacher to now working for the county.
