BARACK OBAMA Vs AYN RAND
This book presents an imaginary debate that juxtaposes Ayn Rand’s ideas against Barack Obama’s ideas on economic issues and the underlying philosophies that inform their thoughts. The major claims made by the two speakers are garnered from the many articles, books, interviews and speeches given by them over the years. The best arguments for their positions are forcefully presented so that they each have the fairest chance to defend their ideas while also attempting to expose the opponent's fundamental logical errors.
The debate starts with some combative sparks on concrete economic issues like regulations, taxes, jobs, etc before the speakers delve deeper into proudly defending the underlying moral foundations and goals -- virtuous self sacrifice versus rational self interest, collective salvation versus individual salvation -- on which their positions are ultimately grounded.
The debate concludes with closing speeches by each speaker, with last responses to each other’s final remarks. In their summaries, they both emphasize why their way of thinking is what would lead the United States of America to the day of its greatest glory and save it from the present descent caused by the culture's unwitting assimilation of the other speaker's morally dangerous ideology.
