  • Impartiality at its best

    This show is well worth anyone’s time who is interested in learning about current events as well as values based life lessons and fundamentals of thinking. Very few podcasts can you listen to regularly because they are just not good enough but Yaron constantly challenges you to think and reflect and consider how the world works philosophically. A must listen.

  • Excellent podcast

    The Yaron Brook show is an excellent substitute to your general sources of knowledge. All in one you can find interest in Economics, principles in philosophy and a lot of common sense. If you don’t enjoy thinking to the extent that your life is important to you... then this show is not for you.

  • Fraud

    Yaron is not an egoist, and his movement is a cargo cult.

Ronald Reagan -- GOAT or Overhyped? | Yaron & Nikos Dialogues
Q: Jennifer asks, why did Ayn Rand oppose Reagan so strongly?
Ayn Rand opposed Reagan because she believed he allowed the religious right to dominate the GOP and felt he paid lip service to capitalism without living up to it on key issues like abortion, taxation of Social Security, and overall fiscal restraint.
