Resumen del Editor

Ayn Rand is the author of two phenomenally best-selling ideological novels, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, which have sold over 12 million copies in the United States alone. Through them, she built a right-wing cult following in the late 1950s and became the guiding light of Libertarianism and of White House economic policy in the 1960s and '70s. Her defenses of radical individualism and of selfishness as a "capitalist virtue" have permanently altered the American cultural landscape.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This objective account of the Objectivist Rand will interest her still large and devoted readership." ( Publishers Weekly)

Behind the scenes of Ayn Rand

this is an excellent biography documenting not only the highs but also the lows of Ayn Rand and her life.

Balanced

As someone who loved Atlas Shrugged but is also a huge fan of JFK and FDR I've struggled over the years to reconcile those extremes. This book helped me to integrate the very best of Ayn Rand's thinking without becoming a disciple of Objectivism.

hysterical

Veering sharply from kudo to hysterics, this book is what Rand would have called the product of fuzzy thinking.
