FTNCI 089: Objectivism Book Study (Week 31) — Capitalism as Moral

For the New Christian Intellectual

The Objectivism Book Study met through 2022 to study Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand, by Leonard Peikoff.

This week our reading was:
Ch. 11 – Capitalism (Introduction) 378-379
Ch. 11 – Capitalism as the only moral social system 380-395

For a society’s legal system, the alternatives are either:

1) A policy of legalized plunder.

OR

2) Laissez-faire capitalism.

There are no other options.
