-
- Society & Culture
Do individuals need the will and overriding judgment of others to be their best selves? Is there really, as Ayn Rand says, no place for society to override and correct my self-interest? Can I know myself well enough to assert my own will? Guest Zach Schmitt joins to help answer these questions and also tells us more of Ayn Rand's origins and contrasts her with Walker Percy and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
