but how can you interpret it any different when her book was entitled "the virtue of selfishness" and she is on record for her disdain of altruism Perhaps you just read the title and wrote it off unexamined. It's not what it seems. She was making a statement with that title. It's been fifty years since I encountered her work. I haven't seen any buzz about it in a very long time. I definitely have not encountered any politicians doing deeds in her name. If you can give me an example of one I will entertain it. I tend to pay attention to programs and policies more than to the perpetrators so I could have missed something. the majority of politicians who promote her selfishness are bible thumpers, while Rand was a devout atheist.. I would not think the two would be compatible so perhaps the parties are distorting Rand as politicians are prone to do with their religion. OTOH, not too long ago I found a website for Christian libertarians, which I would also think incompatible yet they find a way to shoehorn them together so, maybe where's a will, there's a way.
