Libertarian Good Reads

July 12, 2020 Andrew Elliott 00:38:13

For weeks, Andrew has been pestering Nic to talk about books. To keep him happy, in this edition Nic interviews Andrew about a handful of his favourite reads.

Starting out with Economics In One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt, Andrew moves on to discussing four of his favourite novels; George Orwell’s 1984, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and, finally, Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged.

We talk about why these books are great, why Andrew recommends them and ask whether any of them could ever change the mind of an ardent socialist.
