Presenter: David Kelley
When: June 3, 2013 | 9pm -10pm Eastern | Register now

Friedrich Hayek was one of the greatest advocates of liberty in the 20th century. Ayn Rand was another. Hayek won his fame as an economist , but his thought was based in philosophy. Rand won her fame as a novelist and social commentator, but developed her thought into the systematic philosophy of Objectivism.

In this webinar, David Kelley, the founder of The Atlas Society, will give an overview of the essential differences in Rand's and Hayek's views of knowledge, human nature, and ethics.  He will explain why these differences matter, and why Rand was right on the fundamentals. Seating is limited.  Register here .
