So sacrifice is a virtue and selfishness is a vice, right? \\xa0Not so fast! \\xa0Wes Bertrand joins me to discuss the philosophy of self-interest. \\xa0Of course much of the time is spent talking about Ayn Rand\\u2019s great book on the topic, The Virtue of Selfishness.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

What is wrong with sacrifice? \\xa0Isn\'t selfishness evil? \\xa0Wes and I go deep on this one, exploring the effects of the dominant belief in today\\u2019s culture, the philosophy of sacrifice, and how that contrasts with Ayn Rand\'s philosophy.
