http://www.aynrand.org Weren't the convicted Enron executives acting in their own rational self-interest? Isn't it true that one person's rational self-interest is going to conflict with another person's rational self-interest, leading inevitably to the use of force? These questions are from the Q-&-A period of a lecture titled "Why Unregulated (Laissez-Faire) Capitalism Is the Only Moral Social System," delivered at the University of California, Irvine on April 14, 2008. Yaron Brook is president and executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute in Irvine, California.
