This is the view of Ayn Rand and the Objectivists, a view so radically opposed to prevailing attitudes that it constitutes a major philosophic revolution. In a series of essays the Objectivists present their stand on the persecution of big business, the causes of war, the student rebellion, the evils of altruism. Here is a challenging new look at modern society, by one of the most provocative intellectuals on the American scene.' [Quote from back wrapper] ***'Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal is a collection of essays, mostly by the philosopher Ayn Rand, with additional essays by her associates Nathaniel Branden, Alan Greenspan, and Robert Hessen. The authors focus on the moral nature of laissez-faire capitalism and private property.' [Wiki] ***First impression of the first US paperback edition, with additional content.
