Ayn Rand? Have you ever heard of her? Did anyone have her novels as required reading for an economics or Social studies class? I, unfortunately did not.
According to my readings and interpretation of such, most of her novels were based on a philosophy given the name of "Objectivism".
My Interpretation of such led me to the premise that it is based on individualism and there is nothing wrong with being selfish. In a nutshell it could be considered capitalism to the extreme. However it seems have the reader consider the consequences of not being able to detach from emotions and focus on their own individual achievements, in order to achieve a better, more prosperous society. It truly provides food for thought in regard to how we see our society and where it may be headed.
Mrs. Rand coming from socialist beginnings was committed to fighting this way of life when she came to this country as a writer. She was dedicated to relating this through her novels; that this great country could become this way if we continued to allow government interference and being conformist.

I have included below some links to her readings as well as the definitions of "Objectivism" as well as "Individualism" Please offer an opinion I would love to hear from you. happy reading!
My Best,
