What is free will? Does it even exist? Does it matter? Last week Elan Journo previewed some of the topics to be covered at Ayn Rand Student Conference 2016.
In this panel, ARI authors Elan Journo and Steve Simpson discuss the subject of their books, why they concentrate on issues like free speech and Islamic totalitarianism, how ARI’s predictions over the years illustrate the power of the Institute’s distinct philosophic perspective and what everyone can do.
In remarks delivered at the launch of Ayn Rand Institute Europe, Lars Seier Christensen discusses Europe’s need for Rand's ideas, as well as the various obstacles to the spread of her influence there.
Matthew Long was perusing the aisles of his local library when he came across a copy of a book by Ayn Rand. He glanced at the back cover and a mention of ARI’s essay contest caught his attention. The idea of writing an essay about a novel seemed interesting to him, so he decided to give it a try. He never imagined that only a few months later his essay would win the first-place prize and with it $10,000 in cash.

In 2014, ARI introduced the summer legal fellowship, a one-of-a-kind internship program that allows law students to work with ARI’s director of Legal Studies Steve Simpson, an experienced constitutional lawyer who worked for many years for the Institute for Justice.
