Publisher Description
The foundations of capitalism are being battered by a flood of altruism, which is the cause of the modern world’s collapse. This is the view of Ayn Rand, a view so radically opposed to prevailing attitudes that it constitutes a major philosophic revolution. In her series of essays, she presents her stand on the persecution of big business, the causes of war, the default of conservatism, and the evils of altruism.
This collection of twenty-six essays includes twenty by Ayn Rand as well as three essays by Alan Greenspan, two by Nathaniel Branden, and one by Robert Hessen. These essays are a challenging look at modern society by some of America’s most provocative intellectuals.

“This is one of the greatest books I’ve read. There are only three books I immediately began to re-read upon finishing and this is one of them. The other two are “The Selfish Gene” by Richard Dawkins and “Mere Christianity” by C.S. Lewis. While I’ve never been a great fan of her fictional works, I’ve been a great fan of Ayn Rand ever since reading this book. Not to say that I don’t think her fictional works are great (I just don’t enjoy fiction). I really can’t say why I enjoy the book without going over just about every page. So, I’ll simply say that it is a must read.”
