Two Ayn Rand Biographies Not Worth Your Time

  • サマリー

  • https://youtu.be/MLF5deQWbrc Podcast audio: In this episode of New Ideal, Aaron Smith interviews Elan Journo to discuss his critical evaluation of two popular but deeply flawed biographies of Ayn Rand: Jennifer Burns’ Goddess of the Market and Anne C. Heller’s Ayn Rand and the World She Made. Among the topics covered: The standards of objectivity that the biographies fail to meet; The authors’ disregard for how Rand thought of herself and her work; Examples of the books’ lack of objectivity; How the authors mishandled the biographies' sources; Why ignoring Rand’s philosophy makes the books less interesting and intelligible. Recommended in this podcast are Journo’s articles “‘Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right’ Is Worse than Incompetent” and “Postscript: ‘Ayn Rand and the World She Made’ Is an Exploitative, Tabloid Biography,” and Allan Gotthelf and Gregory Salmieri’s book A Companion to Ayn Rand.
