Here For The Truth

Ep 227 - Yaron Brook | Ayn Rand & Objectivism


Listen Later

In this episode, we're joined by a renowned advocate for free markets and Objectivism, whose journey from socialist upbringing in Israel to earning a PhD in finance and leading the Ayn Rand Institute exemplifies the transformative power of ideas. From Ayn Rand's escape from Soviet Russia to contemporary debates around capitalism, freedom, and individual rights, we explore how these principles remain powerfully relevant today. The conversation challenges common misconceptions about selfishness, altruism, and the moral foundations of a free society.

Moving beyond pure philosophy, we tackle pressing contemporary issues including artificial intelligence, Bitcoin, and the state of modern politics - including a sharp critique of Donald Trump and a compelling analysis of Argentina's Javier Milei. The discussion also ventures into more personal territory, exploring how Objectivist principles apply to parenting, psychology, and the development of authentic self-esteem, offering listeners practical insights for their own lives. Throughout the episode, our guest draws from his extensive experience as a writer, speaker, and media commentator to articulate a passionate defense of reason, individualism, and capitalism as the foundations for human flourishing.
