Is the Center for the Advancement of Capitalism a spokesman for Ayn Rand and her philosophy of Objectivism?
No. Given the unfortunate history of the individuals and organizations who have claimed to speak in the name of Miss Rand and her philosophy, yet have held positions deeply offensive and contradictory to Objectivisms key tenets, it is important that we note that the only authoritative sources for Objectivism are the philosophic writings of Miss Rand herself and the articles by other authors that she published in her periodicals or included in her anthologies. Why do we and other Objectivists say this? Because it is critical that when speaking of a field as complex and important as philosophy, we be precise about who we are and are not. We are scholars and advocates of Objectivism who seek the application of its principles to our lives and our civilization. We are not, however, Objectivisms spokesmen, and the responsibility for any divergence from Objectivism that we may make in the pursuit of our mission rests solely with ourselves.
