Recommendation

Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism celebrates the underlying principles of capitalism: reason, independence and just plain selfishness. Donna Greiner and Theodore Kinni lay out the fundamentals of Objectivism and attempt to describe how you can integrate its beliefs into your life and your business. The book is written in the spirit of Rand’s own outlook: It is anchored in practicality, well organized and goal-oriented. Even so, some executives might lose patience with the philosophic nature of the work. We advise such readers to move on. However, getAbstract.com recommends this book to intellectually curious readers in search of a moral, ethical, or even philosophic foundation for their business life.

Take-Aways

  • Objectivism - the philosophy of Ayn Rand - celebrates individual rights and reason.
  • Rand spelled out her philosophy in novels like The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.
  • The name of the philosophy comes from what Rand considered objective values.
