Date: Dec 09, 2020

Ayn Rand was a radical who repudiated ideas that have been cherished by Western culture for thousands of years. How can her unconventional ideas make headway in the face of such entrenched opposition?

At the Ayn Rand Institute, we are often asked about why we promote Rand’s ideas in the way we do. In this episode, we answer this question and in doing so, say more about how we think about what is necessary to change the culture in the long term.

An overview article is available on the New Idea website.
