The author of famous books like "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Fountainhead", Ayn Rand created her personal philosophy of "objectivism" . Both her writings and her philosophy stressed the importance of free-will, rugged individualism and capitalism and rejected altruism and empathy. She was "Live Free or Die" long before it became chic here in New Hampshire. On her one-hundredth birthday we discuss the life, works and philosophy of Ayn Rand. Laura's guest is Dr. Andrew Bernstein, author and lecturer of Ayn Rand. He's a professor of philosophy at Pace University and the State University of New York at Purchase.
