Greg Salmieri and Ben Bayer host a special episode of the Atlas Project broadcast, focused on Part III, Chapter 2, "The Utopia of Greed," discussing the philosophical themes of the chapter: the importance of not faking reality, the question of whether there are conflicts of interest among rational men, and the benevolent universe premise.

The Ayn Rand Institute invites you to join The Atlas Project, an eight-month, chapter-by-chapter, online discussion of Atlas Shrugged. To facilitate the discussion, ARI will host a weekly interactive broadcast on Facebook Live led by experienced teachers to help readers explore the intricate plot and abstract themes of Rand’s most philosophical novel. Each episode will subsequently be published on YouTube.
