Everybody, welcome back to the What Is Money Show.

I am thrilled and honored today to be sitting down with Mr.

Yaron Brook, host of the Yaronan Brook Show, and chairman of the board of the Ayn Rand Institute.

Yeran, welcome to the show.

Thanks. Thanks for having me on. Looking forward to this.

Really looking forward to this. i appreciate you coming on earlier and

just you're going to really i think help me sharpen my understanding of iron rann's work in this

conversation and hopefully my audience gets a lot of value out of that. And we originally connected on Real Vision.

We talked about Bitcoin and Gold, I believe.

And I really enjoyed that discussion.

So thank you for doing that again.

And Ein Rand, you know, I was telling you offline, she is someone that I consider myself to be a increasingly a closet fan of.

I haven't read any of her books cover to cover yet, but I've been working my way through a number of her texts that are published online.

And I have a high degree of resonance with her as it pertains to freedom,

relationship to the government or to the state and her ideas on property.

So I'm hoping we can start to get into some of that today.

And I, you know, again, going to be really leaning on your understanding because I have not read

enough of her yet, but certainly plan to do more of that throughout this conversation.

So I started reading the virtue of selfishness today.

And maybe I'll just open by reading an excerpt of that. So, Einrand writes, yet the exact meaning and dictionary definition of the word selfishness is concerned with one's own interest. This concept does not include a moral evaluation.

It does not tell us whether concern with one's own interest is good or evil,

nor does it tell us what constitute man's actual interest.
