Celebrate This Special September 2 Event with ARI!
On September 2, the Ayn Rand Institute invites you to the exclusive premiere of a newly-acquired, high-quality recording of Ayn Rand’s 1964 Ford Hall Forum lecture, “Is Atlas Shrugging?” —presented by ARI archivists Audra Hilse and Brandon Lisi.
After Atlas Shrugged was published, people routinely asked Ayn Rand whether it was a prophetic novel or an historical one–was it a warning about the future or a diagnosis of current events? In this talk, Ayn Rand gives her answer.
In addition to the talk, Audra and Brandon, along with literature professor and Ayn Rand expert Shoshana Milgram, will provide exclusive behind-the-scenes context and commentary.
