Atlas Advocates

ATLAS ADVOCATES—students from across the world flock to the Atlas Society’s student programs! It is their unique opportunity to network with one another as they begin their launch into the professional working world.

For over a year now, we have hosted a monthly book club, where students read books ranging from political books like The Case Against Socialism, and books by philosophers like Jason Hill with his book, We Have Overcome, to our very own Pocket Guide to Postmodernism. This book club group has a unique opportunity to engage with the authors themselves in an intimate virtual setting.

Our enthusiastic members volunteer to distribute books at their schools or local libraries across the country and at events across the world. Our Atlas Advocates have distributed 10,958 COPIES of our graphic novels in the last year alone!

“I was truly lost growing up due to the constant exposure to socialist propaganda. During the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically, I did not know what I wanted to do and followed my peers in order to get by until I was exposed to the ideas of Ayn Rand and The Atlas Society. Being around like-minded and thoughtful people has made my formerly dimmed light from social programming shine brighter than ever!”

learning discussions are new to our program offerings.

Morals & Markets is marketed to college and freshly

post-college-aged philomaths—the young people who join Dr. Salsman truly have a love of learning and we are honored to add a deeper enrichment to their studies.

“Effective Altruism” as Slavish Labor “Morals and Markets has been a spectacular learning experience for me. Professor Salsman’s lectures and guided discussions have opened my eyes to alternative ways of viewing issues and generally strengthened my grasp of the intersections between philosophy, politics, and economics.”

— Gaurav Sharma

“Morals & Markets provides students of all levels an opportunity to engage with some of the most interesting (and sometimes difficult!) issues in philosophy, politics, and economics. Professor Salsman’s experience as an outstanding educator and commitment to presenting a holistic view of contemporary tensions between public policy and moral philosophy encourage vibrant debate and an unparalleled learning experience. I am enthusiastic about Dr. Salsman’s future iterations of Morals & Markets with the support of The Atlas Society!”
