Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged
1,208 words
No thinker, perhaps, has had more influence upon
contemporary libertarians than the novelist and
non-academic philosopher, Ayn Rand. For that

many of her arguments have been misunderstood,
misrepresented or ignored. As George Smith has
commented, there has appeared relatively little in
the way of competent reflection of Ayn Rand as a
philosopher. Accounts written by [her] admirers
are frequently eulogistic and uncritical, where as

Galileo Galilei Medical Student Bodies

that day. He proved to be right a portion of the
