Gina Gorlin | Deeper Connection Through Mutual Selfishness

Deeper Connection Through Mutual Selfishness This talk integrates the moral perspective offered by Rand’s “trader principle” with psychological tools and insights for improving assertive communication. Attendees will learn how skills such as reflective listening, the “broken record” technique, perspective-taking, and ”I”-statements can deepen the intimacy and value derived from close personal relationships, largely by conveying respect for the other person’s volition and value-context while also demanding respect for one’s own.

The Rubin Report | Ayn Rand's Philosophy on Helping the Poor, Capitalism, and Human Nature

Ayn Rand's philosophy on social safety nets, capitalism, human nature and more.

Ayn Rand - What Is Capitalism? (full course)

This 1967 lecture is Ayn Rand’s flagship talk on capitalism. In it she explains in depth what capitalism is, why it is often misunderstood and why it is the only social system consonant with man’s nature. She discusses the philosophical and ethical roots of capitalism, and contrasts them with the moral-philosophic doctrines that lead to rule by force. She then discusses progress under capitalism and how it is fundamentally different from the so-called progress of a statist society. Along the way, Rand takes up such questions as: • What is the essence of man’s nature? • What is the fundamental basis for the concept of individual rights? • How is capitalism consonant with man’s nature? Why are other social systems not consonant with it? • Why is serving “the common good” not a sound principle for governing a free society? • What are the different perspectives on “the good,” and how do they inform people’s views on what constitutes a proper social system? • What has been the ethical basis of all tyrannies in history? • Who prospers on a free market? • How does a free market unleash man’s creative abilities? • What is so often misunderstood about progress under capitalism? This talk is excerpted from Rand’s substantially longer and more comprehensive essay of the same name. Students interested in mastering Rand’s views on capitalism are encouraged to study the full essay, available here, in addition to enjoying this course.

"The Enemies of 'Extremism'" by Ayn Rand

In this 1964 radio interview, Ayn Rand responds to questions about the use of the term “extremism” in political discourse. Rand rejects “extremism” as an undefined term used to smear and discredit one’s opponent without evidence, analyzing several instances of the term’s use in presidential politics. Rand discusses why the term “extremism” is really an attack on consistency of principles, how presidential candidate Barry Goldwater could have defended himself against smears leveled at him, and why it is important to evaluate individuals and movements based on their ideas.
