One year ago, ARI launched The Yaron Brook Show. A lot has happened since then. Today, more than 80 episodes later, we would like to highlight some of our favorite shows of the past year.
This Saturday, January 23, Alex Epstein, CEO of the Center for Industrial Progress and the author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, will join Don Watkins and together they will explain why Objectivism is a philosophy for success and happiness.
A critical part of ARI’s mission is introducing Ayn Rand’s ideas to the widest possible audience. To this end, the Institute regularly sends its experts to educate new audiences about Ayn Rand’s philosophy. Recently, for example, ARI addressed international fans of Objectivism, including, for the first time, those in Russia and Ukraine.
As the moment of truth approached, John Thorpe, a law school student at Arizona State University, tried to forget about the Atlas Shrugged essay contest he entered in early 2015. John had spent weeks carefully rereading the novel and poring over his essay in the hopes of taking home the coveted first prize. As the announcement deadline approached, however, he couldn’t help but recall the two previous years he went home empty handed.
Dr. Tara Smith, professor of philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin, was interviewed on Free Thoughts, a Cato Institute podcast, and discussed the importance of objectivity in legal systems.

Don’t miss an all new episode of The Yaron Brook show tomorrow, in which Yaron will discuss Silicon Valley and why many working in it lean to the Left when it comes to cultural and political issues.
