  • [For October-November 2022, episodes will not be released with the usual weekly frequency due to some family commitments. Hopefully the podcast will get back to regular weekly episodes soon. Thanks, everyone, for your patience and thoughtful engagement with the podcast!]

    In this episode, Jonathan analyzes the next few scenes of Chapter 5 (Part 1). Dagny and Francisco, now young adults, take their relationship to new levels of intimacy. Ayn Rand's description of that intimacy features the language of capitalism (ownership) but also there are surprising moments of feminism and sex positivity.

    My five themes to explore in this podcast's close read of Atlas Shrugged are:

    1. What is human nature?
    2. Straw-man arguments and their impact on the world Ayn Rand creates.
    3. Dagny Taggart as a true hero.
    4. How empathy can be de-legitimized.
    5. What is Capitalism and what is wrong with it?
