Title: A ruinous ideology
Review: The only reason to read this book is to understand where the American extreme right-wing gets its crazy ideas.Rand, who in 1964 published a collection of essays called the The Virtue of Selfishness, renounced self-sacrifice on principle. She famously argued that altruism must be rejected "if any civilization is to survive."I also like this quote:"Ayn Rand's particular genius has always been her ability to turn upside down traditional hierarchies and recast the wealthy, the talented, and the powerful as the oppressed." -- Amy Benfer
