Synopsis
Айн Рэнд (1905-1982) — наша бывшая соотечественница, крупнейшая американская писательница, чьи книги оказали мощнейшее влияние на мировоззрение миллионов людей во всем мире, автор признанных бестселлеров — «Атлант расправил плечи», «Источник», «Гимн» и др. Книга «Добродетель эгоизма» представляет собой сборник статей, написанных Айн Рэнд в разные годы и объединенных одной темой — защитой концепции «разумного эгоизма» как этической основы свободного капиталистического общества. Автор на редкость живо и убедительно доказывает, что только в рамках системы, которая ставит во главу угла права личности и разум, люди могут свободно развиваться и обретать счастье, не оказываясь порабощенными диктаторами, государством и другими людьми. А значит — только такую систему можно признать нравственной и соответствующей человеческой природе.

About the Author
Born February 2, 1905, Ayn Rand published her first novel, We the Living, in 1936. Anthem followed in 1938. It was with the publication of The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957) that she achieved her spectacular success. Rand’s unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience. The fundamentals of her philosophy are put forth in three nonfiction books, Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology, The Virtues of Selfishness, and Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. They are all available in Signet editions, as is the magnificent statement of her artistic credo, The Romantic Manifesto.
From AudioFile
This collection of essays on objectivism sets down Ayn Rand's views on individual rights and challenges listeners on all sides of the political fence to consider their views. Although published in 1961 and aimed at the Cold War world, the essays hold up well and often seem related to today's issues and headlines. Most of Rand's barbs are aimed at liberals, but conservatives also draw fire for faltering in defense of liberties and the Constitution. C.M. Herbert reads with a passion and confidence that seems to personify Rand. One especially well-read passage depicts a hypothetical conversation in which she defends her views to a critic.
