Rare Recording: Ayn Rand In Action

“Our guest is one of the most widely discussed figures on the contemporary intellectual scene,” said famed talk-show host Michael R. Jackson as he introduced Ayn Rand to his radio audience. What came next was a fiery interview that featured Rand as you’ve never heard her before—answering challenging and sometimes confrontational questions from the host and call-in listeners.

The Ayn Rand Institute is thrilled to rebroadcast this unrepeatable interview and share it with a new audience. We will host a live watch party with a preview where we’ll discuss the history of the interview along with some teasers about its highlights and heated moments.

You’ll hear Ayn Rand’s responses to questions such as:

Why do you object to moral grayness?
Doesn’t being an atheist ever leave you lonely?
What do you think of the US policy in Vietnam?
What do you think of capital punishment?
Did capitalism cause the Depression of 1929?

As one caller told the host, “I want to say I’ve learned more in the past 2 minutes than in the past 5 years of intensive study on my part.”
