In this lecture/discussion video from my Spring 2013 Ethics class at Marist College, we discuss some passages from chapters 1 and 3 of Ayn Rand's work, The Virtue of Selfishness. We focus on her opposition to "altruistic" moral theories, her argument for rational egoism, and on the figure of the Trader, who is her paradigm for a good person and for good relationships
