Ayn Rand in the UK: Yaron Brook's UK speeches
Last February Dr Brook visited the UK to speak at Oxford University (here and here) and at the Adam Smith Institute in London. He also gave a fascinating interview just before the ASI speech.
Videos of the London interview and speech are now available on YouTube.
Interview (about 28 minutes in total)
London interview Part 1 - Ayn Rand in the UK; what "free markets"?; the actual causes of the economic crisis
London Interview Part 2 - Why everyone always blames the bankers
London Interview Part 3 - Why the $9B Stimulus Package must fail and what would succeed
London Interview Part 4 - President Obama; the future of the Right
Capitalism without Guilt: the moral case for freedom - main speech (about 32 minutes in total)
ASI speech Part 1
ASI Speech Part 2
ASI Speech Part 3
ASI Speech Part 4
Capitalism without Guilt - Q&A session (about 27 minutes in total)
ASI speech Part 5 - Is it in one's own interest to save a drowning child?
ASI speech Part 6 - Did the Republican Party's move towards religion put off voters?
ASI speech Part 7 - How can we communicate the true nature of capitalism to those unversed in economics?
ASI speech Part 8 - What is the proper role of government?
ASI speech Part 9 - How can the philosophy of Objectivism be reconciled with democracy?
ASI speech Part 10 - Views on Ron Paul; Should Holocaust deniers be prosecuted?
ASI speech Part 11 - Views on torture; Aren't altruism and socialism incompatible; How can we make the emotional case for capitalism; Should we be optimistic?
Among Dr Brooks's innumerable virtues as a speaker is his habit of addressing the wider implications of every question - so you'll get a lot more out of the clips above than the brief descriptions suggest.
