What does it take to propel Objectivism as a philosophic movement? It's essential to articulate the meaning of Objectivism and to exhibit its value in concrete form, by reference to the events, trends and developments of the times. To that end, books are crucial. In this panel, four experts from the Ayn Rand Institute discuss ARI's book-centric strategy and the thinking behind it, and they take questions on their current book projects.

The panelists are Yaron Brook, Executive Co-Chairman; Elan Journo, Fellow and Director of Policy Research; Steve Simpson, Director of Legal Studies, and Don Watkins, Fellow. The event was recorded live on Wednesday, July 6, 2016, at Objectivist Summer Conference 2016 in Bellevue, Washington.
