Jennifer Burns: Ayn Rand's Legacy to Conservatives

Town Hall Seattle
Seattle, WA

Worshipped by her fans, trivialized by her enemies, and forever shadowed by controversy and scandal, Ayn Rand was a powerful figure whose views on government and markets have helped shape the modern conservative movement. Drawing on Rand's private papers and journals, Jennifer Burns, an assistant professor of history at the University of Virginia and author of Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right, examines the novelist's life, ideas, and the political impact of 'Objectivism', the self-styled heroic philosophy articulated by Rand in novels like The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life with Elliott Bay Book Company.
