The voice of reason. Rand A.

Death Marilyn Monroe, the development of space, the war in Vietnam, the confrontation of the United States and the Soviet Union, the position of a woman in politics, the tough criticism of the Catholic Church in her attempts to regulate the intimate side of society. Ain Rand comprehends these and other significant events and processes of the second half of the 20th century through the prism of an objective worldview, remaining a fierce defender of individual freedoms and private capital. The book contains lectures and articles of 1961-1981 - the “Golden Fund” of the writer's intellectual heritage. They are complemented by five essays of the philosopher Leonard Paycoff, who remained a close friend and ally of Rand until the last days of her life.
