The novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand was one of the most influential 20th century advocates of free market capitalism. Her work inspired Objectivism, a philosophical movement and former US Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan cited Rand as a formative intellectual influence. In this outstanding volume, Mimi Gladstein details Rand's belief in the moral supremacy of individualism over collectivism, highlighting her contribution to libertarian thought.

Industry Reviews
"The volumes in this timely series comprise the most comprehensive body of material on conservative and libertarian thought yet published in a single project devoted to the subject. The series will prove an indispensable tool not only for those concerned with the history of political thought but also for those who confront the challenging task of constructing a viable contemporary conservative identity. Professor Meadowcroft had a difficult editorial task, to which he has responded with a judicious choice of thinkers and topics." Noel O'Sullivan, Professor of Political Philosophy, the University of Hull, UK.
"Best known as a novelist, Ayn Rand was the founder of the philosophic school of Objectivism and an influential advocate of free market capitalism. In this book, Gladstein examines Rand's life and work, detailing her belief in the moral supremacy of individualism over collectivism and highlighting her contributions to libertarian thought. The book also looks at how Rand's work was received during her lifetime and at its continuing relevance in the contemporary world." -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.
