"Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism was intended to be the
ultimate success formula. Rand taught us how to achieve our
individual dreams and in doing so, showed us how to effortlessly
contribute to the well-being of everyone else. Rand wanted each of
us to become free traders and money-makers and she urged us to
stand among the world's prime movers. If you take the time to
understand and act on her ideas, perhaps you will fulfill that
role. In that case, you will certainly understand why Ayn Rand
matters." -- Ayn Rand and Business In an astonishing personal
journey that spanned much of the twentieth century, Ayn Rand
transformed herself from a shopkeeper's daughter in Communist
Russia into one of the world's leading advocates of laissez-faire
capitalism. The author of two popular novels, The Fountainhead and
Atlas Shrugged, Rand remains a compelling and influential figure
two decades after her death. And, Objectivism, the controversial
philosophy she built upon the tenets of reality, reason, and
self-interest, in still passionately debated. Rand celebrated
business, especially the heavy industries that dominated America in
her lifetime, and the entrepreneurs who founded and built them. Ayn
Rand and Business interprets the fiction and philosophy of this
self-proclaimed "radical-for-capitalism" for today's business
reader. Rand's life and work offer insightful lessons for managers,
traders, and entrepreneurs. The novelist-philosopher's three values
and seven virtues of Objectivism provide a virtual blueprint for
building a successful career. Rand's ideas about the driving force
of innovation, the employer-employee relationship, and the critical
need for long-term vision and purpose are as relevant as the latest
business news headlines. Read Ayn Rand and Business and find out
why Rand's ideas continue to matter in today's business world. Ayn
Rand and Business is a 43,000-word book, written in three parts.
Part 1 includes a biography of Rand and an introduction to
Objectivism. Part 2 is dedicated to the application of Objectivism
to personal and career success. Part 3 explores the application of
Objectivism to corporate success. "The authors have done an
excellent job of stripping Rand's] thinking down to the bare bones,
illustrating the logic of her approach to life. Indeed, anybody
thinking of tackling either of her great works would find it
worthwhile to read this first." -- The London Sunday Times
"Hopefully, in the future, this book will become a dog-eared
standard title on everyone's business bookshelf." -- Economic
Affairs
