The Virtue of Selfishness: A New Concept of Egoism(1961)

Nathaniel BrandenAyn Rand

Ayn Rand here sets forth the moral principles of Objectivism, the philosophy that holds human life--the life proper to a rational being--as the standard of moral values and regards altruism as incompatible with man's nature, with the creative requirements of his survival, and with a free society.
