In this 1961 talk, Ayn Rand argues that “every ugly, brutal aspect of injustice toward racial or religious minorities is being practiced towards businessmen” under America’s antitrust laws. Rand catalogs the injustices of antitrust, decries the scapegoating of businessmen, analyzes particular cases, rejects antitrust laws as non-objective and calls for their ultimate repeal.

An edited version of this talk is available in Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, a book of essays by Rand and others. This presentation is 59 minutes long, followed by a 35-minute Q&A period.
