Background

Michael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, an author and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest. Deeply influenced by the philosophy of Ayn Rand, Michael uses his platform to challenge cultural dogma, expose moral contradictions, and defend the values that make human flourishing possible.

His remarkable journey—from a 25-year prison sentence to becoming a respected voice in the Objectivist community and beyond—is a testament to the power of Ayn Rand’s ideas. Today, Michael speaks, writes, and debates passionately in defence of individual rights and intellectual clarity.

He is the co-author of two compelling books that examine the failures of the correctional system and the redemptive power of moral conviction: 

• Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Corrections Encourages Crime (Find the book on Amazon)

• View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty
