  • Rand never encouraged a responsible economy or offerred even a theory on an engaged political economy, regardless of how she entitled her lectures. Objectivism I acknowledged when I was about 22 was a fraud philoisophy for people who look at indexes, and read little else after that. Rand might be an inspiration to the individual, but to run a world - third rate at most!

  • What is "laissez faire"? People who do exactly what they want they do until they realize it's something bad? In other words, the entire economy of the past decade?

  • Rand's simple and simplistic idea is that scientists, inventors, or architects cannot produce without the context of absolute freedom, either political (undefined) or economical. Individual rights eventually under ALL systems transform, and most often degrade. For instance, there is no such thing as a democracy in modern terms, and anyone who has ever had 5th grade civics knows this. There is no democracy on earth, and Ayn Rand should have known that if she knew anything!

  • This is Gold .

  • Goofy broad

  • What DOESN'T Ayn Rand consider force in her Objectivist scheme of how a society should work? When you think about it, she fails to comprehend both capitalism AND Darwinism, but manages to mix in a little Nietzsche to try and seem original. The FACT is that Objectivism is hardly more than an APOLOGIA, a naive conglomeration of a bunch of REAL ideas peddling itself off as something else. .....And that's why Ayn Rand might have been more than just a second rate novelist.

  • @AAwildeone Please, be specific.

  • "Each according to his own rational judgment" - there in is built the absolute idiocy of Ayn Rand. It makes a joke of an author who might otherwise have written a few acceptable novels.

  • @AAwildeone Would you care to explain why?

  • @AAwildeone HOw so?

  • when man came done from tree surely did not think about it.

  • as a secular i love capitalism

  • When is this recording from? Thank you for the upload!

  • I disagree - when 1,000,000 girls screamed for the Beatles, were they all thinking individually?

  • Hello again, she did not read her book CAPITALISM but she reproduced the content.

  • This sounds like the courtroom speech from The Fountainhead

  • I think it is "Capitalism - The unknown ideal" I try to read it. My problem is that I am not a native English speaker. So it is a little bit hard but I now notice that I understand now the lines I read last christmas but do not really understand. So now I want to read the complet bokk and let it be equal if I understand anything and then later I will read it again and hopefully understand everything or the most.

    There's no German translation. :-(

    PS: I think it is in the book capitalism because I think I know the words and because the first chapter is called: "What is Capitalism"
