Newly released recorded
interview with Ayn Rand.
In this newly released one hour
interview made in 1980 at her home in New York, Ayn Rand talks with
Ray Newman about the essential principles of her philosophy,
Objectivism; how the virtue of selfishness is prescribed by man’s
nature; why the question "What is the purpose of life?" is an
improper one; her standards for judging the morality of others,
including family; and much more. Listen as Miss Rand identifies the
fundamental conflict between the American and European sense of life
and the missing ingredient to America’s near-perfect politics. To
