Ayn Rand, author of "Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged", was one of the most controversial figures of her time. She transformed herself from a shopkeeper's daughter to one of the world's leading advocates of laissez-faire capitalism. She celebrated business, especially the heavy industries that dominated America and the entrepeneurs who founded and build them. She contructed a philosophy known as Objectivism, which sttod for strict adherence to reality and self-interst, to prove that her epic image of business was the right one. The book aims to provide insightful lessons for managers, traders and entrepeneurs alike. Ayn Rand wrote about topics including the free agent marketplace and the necessity of creating one in order to lead it; corporate strategies; individual achievement and the relationship between employer and employee.
