Ayn Rand is well known for advocating egoism, but the substance of that instruction is rarely understood. Far from representing the rejection of morality, selfishness, in Rand's view, actually demands the practice of a systematic code of ethics. This book explains the fundamental virtues that Rand considers vital for a person to achieve his objective well-being: rationality, honesty, independence, justice, integrity, productiveness, and pride. Tracing Rand's account of the harmony of human beings' rational interests, Smith examines what each of these virtues consists of, why it is a virtue, and what it demands of a person in practice. Along the way she addresses the status of several conventional virtues within Rand's theory, considering traits such as kindness, charity, generosity, temperance, courage, forgiveness, and humility. Ayn Rand's Normative Ethics thus offers an in-depth exploration of several specific virtues and an illuminating integration of these with the broader theory of egoism.

On Nabokov, Ayn Rand and the Libertarian Mind not only conjoins two seemingly divergent authors but also takes on the larger picture of libertarian trends and ideologies. These timely topics further intermingle with Bell-Villada's own conflicted relationship - personal, cultural, satirical, literary - to the ""odd pair"" and their ways of thinking. The inclusion of Louis Begley's essay adds yet another dimension to this unique, wide-ranging meditation on art and politics, history and memory. ...

Op het hoogtepunt van de kredietcrisis gaf voormalig topbankier Alan Greenspan publiekelijk toe dat er kennelijk 'een fout' zat in zijn diepe overtuiging dat vrije markten geen behoefte zouden hebben aan regulering. De man die 18 jaar lang op monetair gebied de belangrijkste figuur ter wereld was geweest, toonde zich 'zeer bedroefd' over de ontdekking dat het neo-liberalisme tekort schoot. Deze spijtbetuiging vormt de achtergrond van een scherp getoonzet essay van de auteur. Voor Greenspan was de vrije markt niet alleen een ideologische overtuiging, maar ook een regelrechte utopie. Zij hield een belofte in die hij ontleende aan zijn belangrijkste leermeesteres in maatschappelijk-filosofische kwesties: de schrijfster Ayn Rand. Haar utopische romans waren onder het Amerikaanse publiek - volgens een enquête van de Times - na de Bijbel de invloedrijkste boeken van de 20ste eeuw. Achterhuis onderzoekt de vrije-marktutopie van Ayn Rand in lijn met zijn eerdere publicaties over utopieën. Hij situeert deze utopie in het bredere historische verband van de opkomst van de markteconomie. De markt, die in traditionele economieën werd begrensd en ingebed in religieuze en maatschappelijke structuren, kreeg een zelfstandige en belangrijke rol in de opkomende moderne kapitalistische economie. Dit culmineerde in het neoliberalisme van Rand en Friedman dat, zoals dat gaat met alle utopieën, is uitgedraaid op een debacle
