The Real Cost of Short-Term Thinking with Robert Tracinski

What is irrational self-interest? What is enlightened self-interest, and why do so many people get it wrong? Using a jaw-dropping real-world story of pardons and political operatives, join Atlas Society Senior Fellow Robert Tracinski for the 299th episode of Objectively Speaking, where he explains why rational, long-term thinking is the true foundation of a free and civilized society and how irrational self-interest doesn’t just fail morally, but practically as well. ---------------------------------------------- Robert Tracinski Book: So Who Is John Galt, Anyway?: A Reader's Guide to Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged - https://amzn.to/375WYn0 Book: Pocket Guide to Socialism: https://amzn.to/49iAaiw Twitter: @Tracinski https://twitter.com/Tracinski?ref_src Websites: The Tracinski Letter: https://tracinskiletter.substack.com/ Symposium: https://symposium.substack.com/ Article: https://www.tracinskiletter.com/p/irrational-self-interest ---------------------------------------------- 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
