Drawing from a collection of questions and answers with Ayn Rand in the book Ayn Rand Answers, we will go through question-by-question (as interest dictates!), discussing our own answers and what we think of Ayn Rand's answers.

Although this week, we will be covering the "Politics and Economics" group of questions, here is a non-exhaustive list of topics the book covers to give you an idea of what kind of breadth to expect: ethics, Ernest Hemingway, modern art, Vietnam, Libertarians, Jane Fonda, religious conservatives, Hollywood communists, atheism, Don Quixote, abortion, gun control, love and marriage, Ronald Reagan, pollution, the Middle East, racism and feminism, crime and punishment, capitalism, prostitution, homosexuality, reason and rationality, literature, drug use, freedom of the press, Richard Nixon, New Left militants, HUAC, chess, comedy, suicide, masculinity, Mark Twain, and improper questions.
