Reason.tv is launching a video series on Ayn Rand today entitled "Radicals for Capitalism: Celebrating the Enduring Power of Ayn Rand's Ideas."
Upcoming segments will feature exclusive interviews with Nathaniel Branden, Barbara Branden, and others.
Ayn Rand, best known for her novels The Fountainhead and Atlas shrugged, as well as her individualist philosophy of Objectivism, has been experiencing a resurgence of interest recently.
Rand's books, including her nonfiction works on Objectivism, have sold over 25 million copies in the past 66 years. And she has been showing up everywhere, not just in the halls of academe.
Earlier this year CNN interviewed Ayn Rand Institute president Yaron Brook who claimed that Atlas Shrugged had sold more copies in the first four months of 2009 than the 200,000 it sold in all of 2008, and it had been on Amazon.com's top 50 for more than a month.
Brook believes the renewed interest in Rand's work is driven by the fact that "So many people see the parallels" between our real-world government takeover of major sectors of the economy and "the kind of things that come out of Atlas Shrugged."
In October a Cato Institute book forum featured the authors of two new recently published nonfiction works on Rand.
Reason.tv is part of Reason Foundation, which also publishes the libertarian magazine, Reason.
