Links

Here are a few free places online to learn more about Objectivism (and other stuff too!).  

  • The Ayn Rand Institute - It's the official place online for Objectivism.  They operate the essay contests for her books throughout high school/college and are extremely helpful to college clubs.   They have extensive FAQs and lots primers on Objectivism, not to mention a great archive of op-eds (updated about once a week).
  • The Facets of Ayn Rand - A memoir of Ayn Rand available in whole online.  It also contains links to free audio streams (RealPlayer or Windows Media)
  • Atlas Shrugged - has its own website!  There are a bunch of free streams (RealPlayer) discussing the themes of the book chapter-by-chapter and a few of the longer dialogue passages.
  • Capitalism Magazine - A frequently updated op-ed collection and a lot of smaller news bits.
  • Forums for Ayn Rand Fans - An active bulletin board system.  We have our own subforum here as well.
  • George Reisman - Free market economist influenced by Ayn Rand and Ludwig von Mises (see next), blog and treatise.
  • Ludwig von Mises Institute - Founded in the thought of free-market economist Ludwig von Mises.  The institute has a great deal of free books, audio, and video (usually in multiple formats per item) about economics, politics, history, and philosophy.

I will post more links as I find them.  I don't know about the copyright status of anything within the sites, but as of this posting, they all have a great deal of free stuff to read or watch.  Enjoy! :)
