Support The Atlas Society & Get Your Digital Copy Free
Are you often fielding questions from friends and family about who Ayn Rand was and why she’s so controversial?
Have you ever been asked, “What is Ayn Rand?” (we have, time and again).
Well now you can use The Atlas Society’s nifty new pocket guide in response!
The Pocket Guide to Ayn Rand, penned by Atlas Society Senior Fellow Rob Tracinski, offers a concise encapsulation of Rand’s life, her novels, her ideas, and the movement that continues to expand her legacy into the 21st Century.
She lived a fascinating life, escaping totalitarian Russia, meeting Cecil B. DeMille while finding work in the film industry, and going on to write screenplays, novellas, and epic novels that would make her into one of the most influential champions of liberty in modern times.
Now is a great opportunity for you to champion this amazing woman! If you donate $30 or more today, as a thank you, you will receive a digital, early copy immediately sent to your email inbox and at the same time, help The Atlas Society print and distribute more copies to give to students!
Your tax-deductible donation will directly fund the first round of printing for this pocket guide, which will be gifted to the 100+ young people from around the world attending our summer conference, Galt's Gulch 2.0!

What We're Getting Wrong About the Future
How should we understand the techno-optimism and pessimism of the future as depicted by the people of today? What big things are we getting wrong in how the future will look? These questions are topics covered in a recent essay by Atlas Society Senior Fellow Robert Tracinski. We invite you to read Tracinski’s article and his deep dive into the techno-optimist vision of Isaac Asimov and Robert McCall and what problems we can avoid in their moments of pessimism.
Throwback Thursday: The Primacy of Existence
What are the Foundations of Knowledge? Why should we reject the primacy of consciousness and embrace the primacy of existence as a fundamental axiom of metaphysics and epistemology? These are questions Atlas Society founder and Senior Scholar David Kelley, Ph.D., explored during a lecture at the Jefferson School Conference in 1985. We invite you to listen to the first in a series of audio recordings from The Foundations of Knowledge: Lectures in Objectivism and hear firsthand Dr. Kelley’s defense of Objectivism and the formulation of its rational theory of knowledge.
Let Your Truth Flag Fly!
Flags have been all over the news lately. Controversies over flags flown by Supreme Court justices, fraternity brothers protecting the American flag, protestors waving Palestinian and even Hamas flags, and of course Pride flags galore. Well how about cutting through all the flag politics with one simply dedicated to reality: a flag emblazoned with the law of identity itself? With your very own “A is A” flag, you’re declaring your commitment to reality—and reason as your means of discovering it. This 3’ x 5’ flag shows others that you’re keeping it real, no matter which way the wind blows.
