This is Trend Following Radio, where great thinking comes alive.

Nobel Prize winners, legendary traders, bestselling authors, and the pros that know what drive us irrational human beings.

I am your host, Michael Covel.

Not filtered, raw, honest.

That's my passion.

Today in the show I have Harry Benzwanger, and Harry is an American philosopher. He's a writer.

It's also an objectivist, a longtime associate of Ein Rand. And I caught his interview recently with Henry Blodgett.

Because Harry wrote a very controversial article talking about how society should give back to the 1% and how valuable

the 1% is.

So it was an interesting discussion that Blodgett and Harry both had.

And I wanted to have Harry on to expand on what they were talking about and get into it in

even more detail.

Our conversation follows.

So I have to tell you, you might have to tap out at some point in time in this conversation

because I am sure that I could talk to you all day long about the topics, many of these topics, which I love to talk about.

The first thing I kind of really want to throw out there, just an experience that I had early in my mid-20s, I had never read Atlas Shrugged.

And I had one of the most famous traders ever say to me, Michael, we're

going to have a fine conversation. First things first, go read Atlas Shrugged. And so I find it,

I have that lead up, because I find it funny when I see your appearance with Henry Blodgett,

that there's all this writing and all this negativity.

When I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, there is such a silent majority that just love

the logic and the thinking that Ayn Rand put out there.
