Ayn Rand (/ˈaɪn ˈrænd/; born Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum, Russian: Али́са Зино́вьевна Розенба́ум; February 2 [O.S. January 20] 1905 – March 6, 1982) was a Russian-born American novelist, philosopher, playwright, and screenwriter. She is known for her two best-selling novels, The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957), and for developing a philosophical system she called Objectivism. Born and educated in Russia, Rand moved to the United States in 1926. She had a play produced on Broadway in 1935–1936. After two early novels that were initially unsuccessful in America, she achieved fame with her 1943 novel, The Fountainhead.
In 1957, she published her best-known work, the novel Atlas Shrugged. Afterward, she turned to non-fiction to promote her philosophy, publishing her own magazines and releasing several collections of essays until her death in 1982. Rand advocated reason as the only means of acquiring knowledge, and rejected faith and religion. She supported rational and ethical egoism, and rejected altruism. In politics, she condemned the initiation of force as immoral, and opposed collectivism and statism as well as anarchism, and instead supported laissez-faire capitalism, which she defined as the system based on recognizing individual rights. In art, Rand promoted romantic realism. She was sharply critical of most philosophers and philosophical traditions known to her, except for Aristotle and some Aristotelians, and classical liberals.

It goes over themes covered in her two most famous works—Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. It looks at the so called “Five Pillars of Objectivism” and goes over some in depth. The basic idea behind Objectivism is rational self-ineterest, the notion that you should put yourself above all else. This stems from a belief in objective reality and man’s capacity to reason. The politics of Objectivism are Laissez Faire Capitalism. Also, has anyone noticed that descriptions are about the most boring thing to write? Other things… Yaron Brook’s interview on the Rubin Report was instrumental to the making...

In her first public appearance since husband Frank O'Connor's death, we see a rare personal side of Rand—" As always, the ideas do shine through: the acknowledgement of achievement; the evils of altruism; American schools sacrificing the gifted for the less gifted; the nationalization of American oil interests in the Middle East; the fatal arguments for the existence of God;... and much more.

Questioned by Mike Wallace, Ayn Rand explains her philosophy of objective reality and contrasts it with altruism. http://www.LibertyPen.com
Ayn Rand attacks altruism as evil and both defines and defends her philosophy of objectivism. Rand also explains how monopolies cannot exist unless they are supported by government erected barriers to competition.

The car is parked outside your front door But you don't even travel for an hour anymore Since you learned to fly From your apartment window It's nearby
And for now This is all you'll ever be For now it's better Than something you had in-between For now this is all you'll ever need And I'll be waiting at the shoreline For you hopefully
And lately I've noticed that You haven't been around And I guess it must be cozy On the other side of town 'Cause you take the ferry boat ride Waiting for the moment there When someone will arrive and sing
And when you feel that It's quittin' time Just look up And see the sun is on the rise And move on Move on
