Dr. David Kelley to Retire

It's true; at the end of 2017, Atlas Society founder and Chief Intellectual Officer, Dr. David Kelley, is retiring.
Dr. Kelley founded TAS in 1990 to help launch an independent branch of the Objectivist movement and to advance the philosophy.
As David has taught us all so much, Atlas Shrugged Part 3 Associate Producer, Scott DeSapio, takes a moment to tell the story of his first meeting with David and to celebrate some of his favorites of Dr. Kelley's work...

Explore Dr. David Kelley's work in the Gulch.

It's high time someone set them straight!
Enjoy this lecture by Dr. David Kelley on the "Primacy of Existence." Even though this recording is over 20 years old, it could not be more relevant today.

"In a fully free society, taxation - or, to be exact, payment for governmental services - would be voluntary. Since the proper services of a government - the police, the armed forces, the law courts - are demonstrably needed by individual citizens and affect their interests directly, the citizens would (and should) be willing to pay for such services, as they pay for insurance." - Ayn Rand
