Greg Salmieri and Ben Bayer discuss their experiences having taught classes based on Atlas Shrugged at the university level, and why they were inspired to leverage this experience to create an online discussion-based course for anyone in the world to join.

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.
