Episode 110: Paul Krugman vs. Ayn Rand with Tal Tsfany

In the era of mandated mask wearing and social distancing, we are fighting two battles: One against COVID-19, the other over preserving personal freedoms. In a piece about the virus, New York Times Columnist Paul Krugman blamed President Trump and Ayn Rand for Americans who have stood up against wearing a face covering. Calling it “libertarianism gone bad, a misunderstanding of what freedom is all about”. Tal Tsfany, the President and CEO of the Ayn Rand Institute joins me to talk about the article and how liberals are looking to rob Americans of the free will granted to them in the Constitution. We also discuss how Ayn Rand would react to all of this if she was still with us today.

Episode 89: Why Ayn Rand Matters Today with Tal Tsfany

Many of us have read Ayn Rand’s novels especially, “Atlas Shrugged” and the “Fountainhead.” But I have been surprised to learn how her ideas and philosophy have continued to resonate throughout the world many years after her novels were first published.   To learn more about this I asked Tal Tsfany, President and CEO of the Ayn Rand Institute to come on the show to talk about the Ayn Rand phenomena.   Mr. Tsfany has a great personal story having been an software entrepreneur, investor and executive in both Israel and the United States.  In a fascinating conversation we talk both about Ayn Rand’s ideas and Tal’s personal journey toward her philosophy.
