Samenvatting	Thirty years after her death in March 1982, Ayn Rand? s ideas have never been more important. Unfettered capitalism, unregulated business, bare-bones government providing no social services, glorification of selfishness, disdain for Judeo-Christian morality? these are the tenets of Rand? s harsh philosophy. In Ayn Rand Nation, Gary Weiss explores the people and institutions that remain under the spell of the Russian-born novelist. He provides new insights into Rand? s inner circle in the last years of her life, with revelations of never-before-publicized predictions by Rand that still resonate today. Weiss charts Rand? s infiltration of the Tea Party and Libertarian movements, and provides an inside look at the radical belief system that has exerted a powerful influence on the Republica... (Lees verder)n Party and its presidential candidates. It? s a fascinating cast of characters that ranges from Glenn Beck to Oliver Stone, and includes Rand? s most influential disciple, Alan Greenspan. Weiss describes in penetrating detail how Greenspan became a stalking horse for Rand? slashing and burning regulations with ideological zeal, and then seeking to conceal her influence on his life and thinking. Lastly, Weiss provides a strategy for a renewed national dialogue, an embrace of the nation? s core values that is needed to deal with Rand? s pervasive grip on society. From The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged to Rand? s lesser-known and misunderstood nonfiction books, Gary Weiss examines the impact of Rand's thinking across our society.
