The Rational Egoist: Ayn Rand's Philosophy of Capitalism in the Age of Trump
In this podcast, host Michael Liebowitz examines the presidency of Donald Trump, discussing whether Trump's policies truly align with the principles of capitalism.
He examines Trump's support for minimum wage, tariffs, bailouts, and government intervention in the economy, arguing that these stances are fundamentally anti-capitalist.
Liebowitz argues that the only antidote to the rise of wokeism, political correctness, and cancel culture is Ayn Rand's philosophy of rational egoism, which advocates for individual rights, free markets, and unfettered capitalism.
Michael Liebowitz is a philosopher, political activist, and host of the Rational Egoist podcast. He is a passionate advocate of reason and his views have been heavily influenced by the philosopher Ayn Rand.
Liebowitz has dedicated his life to promoting its principles of rational self-interest, individualism, and reason. In addition to his work as a podcast host, Liebowitz is also a prominent spokesperson for the Libertarian Party for Connecticut - USA and has been involved in a number of political debates advocating for individual rights and freedoms through his YouTube videos and interviews.
Liebowitz's life story is a testament to the transformative power of the writings of Ayn Rand. After spending 25 years in prison, he was able to turn his life around by embracing the principles of rational self-interest and morality espoused by Ayn Rand.
He has since become an influential voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities, using his own experience to inspire others to live their lives in accordance with reason, individualism, and self-interest. Liebowitz is also the co-author of "Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime," a book that explores the ways in which misguided societal attitudes towards punishment and rehabilitation have led to a rise in crime and recidivism. In addition to his work in politics and philosophy, Liebowitz is a regular guest on the Todd Feinburg show at WTIC, where he provides expert commentary on a range of political and social issues.
