This talk by Amy Peikoff shows that in order for government to protect individual rights, laws must be objective in both content and form. Dr. Peikoff explains what objectivity entails in this context, and illustrates—via examples connected to some of today’s top news stories—the consequences of non-objective law. The talk was delivered at UCLA on January 30, 2010, and was hosted by LOGIC, the UCLA Objectivist club.
Ayn Rand called capitalism the “unknown ideal,” arguing that “it is capitalism’s alleged champions who are responsible for the fact that capitalism is being destroyed without a hearing, without a trial, without any public knowledge of its principles, its nature, its history, or its moral meaning.” In this talk, delivered July 5 at Objectivist Summer Conference 2010, Dr. Brook shows how Objectivism succeeds at making the case for free markets, and why capitalism’s traditional defenders have failed. Special emphasis is given to Objectivism’s radical moral defense of free markets and Ayn Rand’s view that capitalism is the system of objectivity.
