Ayn Rand and Adam Smith: Differences that Make a Difference

by Jackson Upmann • Philosophy • May 20, 2024

We need freedom in order to live as we see fit, without other people using force to control or influence our lives.

The question is: How do we defend and achieve freedom?

Adam Smith and Ayn Rand famously addressed this question, but in fundamentally different ways. And understanding the differences in their reasoning is vital to the moral and practical defense of free societies.

At LevelUp 2024, Jon Hersey will clarify these differences and show how this understanding can help you in your fight for freedom.
