Rand escaped soviet Russia and as a result had great praise for free markets (which is not the same as capitalism.) Atlas Shrugged was chosen on an internet poll in late 1999 as the most influential book of the 20th century. In it, Rand correctly predicted the rape of the country by bureaucrats and unproductive commercial interests supporting them. It's remarkable how many of today's events are predicted in this 1957 book. I judge Rand by her writing, not by disagreements she may have had with others or how she did interviews. She is well known because of her writing primarily. Rand tried to teach people how to think rationally, and I don't know anyone who does so all the time. Just read The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957)and decide for yourself. Both are fascinating books with great characters and good plots.
