AYN
RAND
March 1952 - May 2001
Russo-American
author and philosopher, best known for creating the philosophy
of objectivism. Briefly, objectivism holds that the proper
moral purpose of one's life is to pursue rational self-interest;
that is, pursue one's own happiness. The economical equivalent
of objectivism is capitalism, a system championed by Rand.
Rand is also known for authoring Atlas Shrugged and
The Fountainhead, the former being one of the longest
novels ever written.
