Ayn Rand (1905-1982) - our former compatriot, the largest American writer, whose books had a powerful influence on the worldview of millions of people around the world, the author of the recognized bestsellers Atlas Shrugged, The Source, Anthem, etc. The book " Capitalism: An Unfamiliar Ideal" is a collection of articles written by Ayn Rand over the years, which today amaze with their topicality, sharpness and persuasiveness. In them, the author, using real examples from social, political and economic life, brilliantly proves the main message of his philosophy: a person can be made free and happy only by a system that puts the personality at the forefront, a system based on rationality, the free exchange of ideas and goods, namely - capitalism. This means that only such a system can be considered moral, and any ideological compromises can only cause harm to humanity.
