Peter Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I just subscribed to the print addition for two years. The process never asked me for a credit card. Am I going to be billed for a paper check? I prefer using my Amex card. Any suggestions? Peter Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received a bill in the mail and sent in $74.20 if I remember the amount correctly. I can't wait! I think that after I read, "The Goddess of the Market" I stopped reading much about Objectivism except for Robert Tracinski's online column for which I also recently, re-subscribed. And I gave The Atlas Society $100 last week. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I have just skimmed the newest “The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies” and I won’t give any spoilers. I liked Merlin Jetton’s section on “Breaches of Trust,” and “Conflicts of Interest.” I quote, “The Conflicts of Men’s Interests,” alleges that there are no such conflicts. However, she failed to prove there are no “conflicts of interest” with that term’s common meaning.” And the article, “Developing an Instrument to Measure Objectivism,” has an intriguing title.

Peter Thanks, Peter. The issue to which you refer is V18 N1 (July 2018), so I started a new thread here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
