Rand never completed the series but this recently released volume features contemporary Objectivist scholars answering the questions she did not, as well as some previously unpublished text by Rand. The first question asks: What is the…

I stumbled across a news story that highlights why I have never been particularly concerned about Global Climate Warming Change.

What has been mildly worrying is how politicians use the climate theories as an excuse to violate individual rights and accumulate more power. Here’s the answer to Representative AOC’s Green New Deal. A privately…
