Summary
Few 20th-century intellectuals have been as influential - and controversial - as the novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand. Her thinking still has a profound impact, particularly on those who come to it through her novels, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead - with their core messages of individualism, self-worth, and the right to live without the impositions of others. Although ignored or scorned by some academics, traditionalists, progressives, and public intellectuals, her thought remains a major influence on many of the world’s leading legislators, policy advisers, economists, entrepreneurs, and investors.
Why does Rand’s work remain so influential? Ayn Rand: An Introduction illuminates Rand’s importance, detailing her understanding of reality and human nature, and explores the ongoing fascination with and debates about her conclusions on knowledge, morality, politics, economics, government, public issues, aesthetics, and literature. The book also places these in the context of her life and times, showing how revolutionary they were, and how they have influenced and continue to impact public policy debates.

The Best Easily Digestible Account of Rand's Works and Life
After becoming interested in iands work through her fiction book The Fountainhead I have read nearly all of her works and some discussing her works, this is by far the most easily accessible introduction to her philosophy, I will be buying multiple copies to give out to friends and family who are also interested in Objectivism. Thank you Mr Butler, I look forward to reading your other works on other philosophers.
