"Atlas Shrugged" Panel Discussion July 28, 2011

For our last meeting in July, Phoenix Objectivists will host a public viewing video lectures of prominent speakers as they discuss the impact of Atlas Shrugged and Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism on the world.

On October 6, 2007, hundreds gathered in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the publication of Ayn Rand's signature novel, Atlas Shrugged.

Since its publication, Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged has inspired millions. We will watch the third part of a meeting of scholars, experts and achievers who discuss the literary, philosophical, moral, economic and political aspects of this great novel and its impact on our world–past, present and future.

Opening remarks will be made by Atlas Society Advocacy Director Edward Hudgins, followed by author Robert Bidinotto who will introduce the panelists.

Then Dr. Edward Younkins will give a lecture entitled "Atlas and Economics", Comcast, Inc. Chairman Ed Snider will discuss "Atlas and the Entrepreneur" and finally Institute for Energy Research President Rob Bradley will lecture on "Atlas and Business Ethics".

After all of the speakers have finished with their speeches they will field questions from the audience.

When the video segment concludes, we will discuss the points brought up in it. Running time will be 1 hour and 20 minutes.
