"Astute."-New York Times Ayn Rand's complicated notoriety as
popular writer, leader of a political and philosophical cult,
reviled intellectual, and ostentatious public figure endured beyond
her death in 1982. In the twenty-first century, she has been
resurrected as a serious reference point for mainstream figures,
especially those on the political right from Paul Ryan to Donald
Trump. Mean Girl follows Rand's trail through the twentieth century
from the Russian Revolution to the Cold War and traces her
posthumous appeal and the influence of her novels via her cruel,
surly, sexy heroes. Outlining the impact of Rand's philosophy of
selfishness, Mean Girl illuminates the Randian shape of our
neoliberal, contemporary culture of greed and the dilemmas we face
in our political present.
