About this Item

Offered is a first printing (in pamphlet form) of "Requiem For Man" by Ayn Rand published in 1967 by The Objectivist, Inc. out of New York City. A left-stapled pamphlet measuring 5-1/2" by 8-1/2" and containing 24 pages including front and rear covers. First appearing in the July, August and September 1967 issues of The Objectivist, Ayn Rand begins her comments with: "In advocating capitalism, I have said and stressed for years that capitalism is incompatible with altruism and mysticism. Those who chose to doubt that the issue is 'either-or' have now heard it from the highest authority of the opposite side: Pope Paul VI. The encyclical 'Populorum Progressio' ("On the Development of Peoples") is an unusual document: it reads as if a long-repressed emotion broke out into the open, past the barrier of carefully measured, cautiously calculated sentences, with the hissing pressure of centuries of silence. The sentences are full of contradictions; the emotion is consistent. The encyclical is the manifesto of an impassioned hatred for capitalism; but its evil is much more profound and its target is more than mere politics. It is written in terms of a mystic-altruist 'sense of life.'" In Fine condition. Seller Inventory # 012700
