In this video I discuss Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged." I do not offer a plot summary. Instead I dive into a textual analysis of the book, drawing connections between the fictional book and Rand's philosophy, know as Objectivism.
The speech at 13.35 reminded me a lot of Adam Smith's quote that "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest." Its very interesting to see the overlap. Thanks for the video.
