About this episode

Professor Andrew Bernstein Interviews Michael Liebowitz on View from a Cage


In this compelling episode of The Rational Egoist, the tables are turned as renowned Objectivist philosopher Dr. Andrew Bernstein interviews host Michael Liebowitz about his book View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty.


Michael opens up about his incredible journey from a 25-year prison sentence to becoming a fierce advocate for reason, individual rights, and moral independence. Together, he and Dr. Bernstein explore the intellectual and moral transformation that led Michael to discover Ayn Rand’s philosophy behind bars—and how that discovery changed everything.


This is a raw, honest, and inspiring conversation about justice, redemption, the power of ideas, and what it truly means to live as a rational egoist.


Listen in for a conversation that cuts through clichés and gets to the soul of moral awakening.
