Dr. Brook did a commendable job at tailoring his message for this audience of mostly business students. I had to cut some of the optional sections on business and finance in order to satisfy YouTube's file size limitation, but this 37-min version captures everything fairly.

My thanks to everyone who watches and comments.

a great lecture from Dr. Brook

[GaltsGulchPortal]

if you understand the scenario that Dr.Brook is illustrating you should know that the correct moral response is now possible. The Motor/Generator for Ayn Rand's Philosophy For Living On Earth has been designed and the Galt's Gulch exponent is growing as the first moral society inevitably should.

Thanks to you all for putting this lecture out but you have to realize that faculty are victims of the Dagny/Hank Martyr Syndrome.

The best response is now in your future.

And I mean it.
