If you would like a quick, easy-to-read introduction to Ayn Rand's philosophy...if you would like to see how Ayn Rand applied her philosophy...if you simply would like a glimpse into the objectivist world, then this is the book. This is a compilation of numerous articles on various issues that touched America, including the death of Marilyn Monroe. Some of the articles may shock you, but all require a second read-through. Keep in mind, though, that Ayn Rand was a narcissist who had a closed-minded view of who her followers were and who they weren't; that prevented her from portraying objectivism for what it is -- a great "philosophy of philosophy," a method of interpreting human actions and a guideline for having your own ideas.
Format:Taschenbuch
As most of the essays in the book were written as newspaper op-ed pieces, they occasionally suffer from "current-itis"; i.e. they were designed with the assumption that the reader would have familiarity with the events being discussed. To that end, I would recommend that people who would like to get the most out of this book brush up a bit on their early-'60's history first.
With that caveat, however, I would strongly encourage anyone with an interest in Ayn Rand's writing to read this book. It is a good example of how to put some of the more abstract parts of Objectivist philosophy into real-world practice. Rand's book "The Romantic Manifesto", for example, becomes more clear in the light of her essay on the television show "The Untouchables".
Also, even if one is not especially interested in period current events, there are some essays of broader scope included after the columns. Of particular note are her essay "The Fascist New Frontier" (an invaluable antidote to the floods of Kennedy worship pumped out by the mass media), and her explanation of why atheists can celebrate Christmas. I believe that both long-time Objectivists and people who are new to the philosophy can find something useful in this book. Furthermore, even if you have no interest in Objectivism, the book is still an enlightening look at a pivotal time in American history.
Format:Taschenbuch
If you liked her novels you will really enjoy this collection of her articles. Some of them are dated in that they deal with current events (elections, Cuban missile crisis, Nazis marching in Skokie, Illinois), but any serious or not-so-serious student of history will enjoy them. One article I found particularly illuminating was the one in which she descibed a 'Party X' that would stand on principle as opposed to the current Republican Party platform in relation to John Kennedy and his Democratic Party. Toss in an essay on the death of Marilyn Monroe, stamp collecting and Medicare and you have quite interesting (and quick) reading. These articles do contain a certain timelessness when you transpose them to the current events of today. To the mother of libertarianism, I say, "Thanks Mom. Even though you don't approve of me sometimes, I still love you." Good stuff.

An excellent book to add to anyone's collection
The previous reader, I think, has either never really finished reading a single Ayn Rand book, or totally doesn't understand the philosopy of Ayn Rand. Lesen Sie weiter...

Insights into a very paranoid mind
I believe Ayn Rand's writings are very destructive. And this isn't because of her highly un-original philosophy. Lesen Sie weiter...
