ACADEMIC
POCKET GUIDE TO OBJECTIVISM THIS SUMMER, TAS released our new Pocket Guide to Objectivism. This book provides an engaging introduction to the core principles of Objectivism in an easy-to-read format. Within days our entire stock was depleted as hundreds of people sought out our booth to pick up their own copy (and copies to hand out to their friends). We are in our third printing so be sure to order your copy on TAS’ website (atlassociety.org) where you can ALSO download the Pocket Guide in audio format.
Equally as impressive are the significant gains in audience engagement! TAS went from about 600 people engaging with our content monthly to 390,000 people. Most importantly, our social influence has skyrocketed, catapulting The Atlas Society to the second most influential Facebook page in the liberty movement! In addition, our website traffic has grown to more than one million visitors a year, with 18-to-24-year-olds as the largest cohort using our resources. TAS has leapfrogged other non-profits in digital and social content and, as a result, we’ve connected with millions online this year to introduce them to our ideas.
PRINT MEDIA IN 2017, TAS published a total of 82 commentary pieces applying Objectivism to topics ranging from dating to dieting, art to economics, and politics to popular culture. The quality of our research and writing has led to national papers seeking out our opinion and asking us to weigh in on culturally relevant topics. In November alone, Jennifer was published three times in The Daily Caller including an opinion piece on sexual harassment entitled “Not #MeToo, But #MeFirst” and another on “The GOP Tax Bills Are Passable Policy but Philosophical Train Wrecks”.
