Jeffrey Tucker at the Ludwig von Mises Institute: If You Believe in IP, How Do You Teach Others?, some nice musings on some of the current struggling in academia over the reproduction of classes and class derived materials, including some words on how that relates to some of the struggles Ayn Rand had over her dissemination of her ideas. Hat tip to Chris in Florida.

Cool! My earlier enthusiasm for Rand has obviously become tempered, I think I've described it here before as that I no longer believe in non-violence, but I'm still a big fan of how she thought through her ideas and the cultural impact, and it looks like the Burns book puts a lot of that in context.

On that Ayn Rand note, the first third or so of the Burns book has been quite good.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
