"Atlas Shrugged: Producers vs. Looters and Parasites" September 8, 2011

For our first meeting in September Phoenix Objectivists will listen to the second part of The Atlas Society's course on "Atlas Shrugged" entitled: "Atlas Shrugged: Producers vs. Looters and Parasites"

The producers in Atlas Shrugged represent the culmination of Rand's artistic goal to portray the human ideal; and their conflict with looters and parasites is the fullest statement of what she saw as an eternal conflict in human life.

In this lecture Dr. David Kelley will discuss that conflict as the master theme of the novel, encompassing all the other thematic elements, along with Galt's strike as the master plot.

Running time for the lecture will be about 80 minutes including Dr. Kelley taking questions from the audience.

After the lecture concludes we will discuss the issues brought up in it.
