Public Choice Theory and the Politics of Self-Interest with Stephen Hicks and Richard Salsman

Join Atlas Society Senior Scholars Stephen Hicks and Richard Salsman for a webinar exploring the intersection of “Public Choice” economics and Objectivism. Listen as the duo discuss how Public Choice theory challenges the idea of selfless government actors, and how Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged vividly dramatizes the consequences of political actors being driven by self-interest rather than the public good. ---------------------------------------------- Dr. Stephen Hicks Personal Website: https://www.stephenhicks.org/ Staff Page: https://www.atlassociety.org/staff-trustees-and-authors/stephen-hicks Books: Explaining Postmodernism, Liberalism: Pro and Con -- https://amzn.to/2MKkaQf Twitter: @SRCHicks ---------------------------------------------- Dr. Richard Salsman Website: https://richardsalsman.com/ Intermarket Forecasting: http://www.intermarketforecasting.com/ Staff Page: https://www.atlassociety.org/staff-trustees-and-authors/dr-richard-m-salsman Book: Where Have All the Capitalists Gone?: Essays in Moral Political Economy -- https://amzn.to/2WNFE4d Book: "Pocket Guide to Capitalism" - https://amzn.to/3MzUKQp ---------------------------------------------- About The Atlas Society: https://www.atlassociety.org/about Sign up for our newsletter to get updates: https://www.atlassociety.org/get-updates Entire library of Draw My Life Videos: https://www.atlassociety.org/video-series/draw-my-life Catalogue of The Atlas Society Asks episodes and other videos: https://www.atlassociety.org/now-playing Ayn Rand Merchandise: https://shop.atlassociety.org/ Follow The Atlas Society on social media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AtlasSociety/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheAtlasSociety/videos Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheAtlasSociety Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atlassociety/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-atlas-society
