Criticism about Ayn Rand

Liberals and Ayn Rand

http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/jf-npr/jf1975.htm

“The Fountainhead, We the Living and most of all Atlas Shrugged–these three novels articulated a view of life, men, and morals which completely captivated my political imagination. As I read them, I felt that Ayn Rand was enabling me to make sense of what I had observed myself, as well as opening up new dimensions I had not begun to consider.”
