For years we have kept those who couldn’t make it to Objectivist summer conferences in the loop by updating them on everything that’s happening and said through social media platform such as Twitter and Facebook. And we have always encouraged OCON attendees to comment and share their thoughts and reactions on Twitter and Facebook.
Isn’t summer the perfect time to read a good book? We think so. That is why we at ARI have compiled a summer reading list with a selection of great books covering today’s important issues from a distinctly Objectivist perspective. These books address topics such as the inequality debate, the threat from Islamic totalitarianism, the state of American education and other significant issues.
Don’t miss an all-new episode of The Yaron Brook Show tomorrow, June 18, in which Yaron will discuss the role of philosophy in terrorism, elections and more.
ARI’s Objectivist summer conference is a once-a-year event where you can learn about Objectivism, connect with others influenced by Ayn Rand’s works and experience many aspects of the Objectivist movement. As a student at OCON 2016, you’ll discover a philosophical approach to understanding the power and application of ideas, both in your life and in the culture. You’ll build relationships with professionals and intellectuals eager to share the ideas behind their success. Even more, you’ll leave with new friendships and connections that continue far beyond the conference’s end. And you will have an opportunity to voice your ideas in discussions about what the future of the Objectivist movement should look like in order to best advance its inspiring pro-freedom message.
Last month, we asked you to show us your skills and create a graphic featuring one of your favorite quotes from Equal Is Unfair: America’s Misguided Fight Against Income Inequality by Don Watkins and Yaron Brook. We received some great submissions and are pleased to announce our favorites.
On June 1 and June 2, 2016, Yaron Brook, Steve Simpson and Tara Smith attended the 2016 Foundations of a Free Society Conference at Clemson University, hosted by the Clemson Institute for the Study of Capitalism.
