AI Overview


No, Ayn Rand was never banned in England
. In fact, her works and philosophy are openly available and even included in some academic curriculums.
Key details:
  • Her novella Anthem was first published in England in 1938 after she could not find an American publisher at the time.
  • Ayn Rand's "objectivist" philosophy has been a part of the UK's A-Level politics curriculum since at least 2017, requiring students to know and understand her core tenets alongside those of other diverse thinkers like Karl Marx, John Locke, and Thomas Hobbes.
  • Her books are sold in stores and online, and discussions about her influence on politics and culture are common in British media and forums.

While her works are highly controversial and often challenged or excluded from certain school libraries/curricula in the United States due to her conservative and individualist philosophy, there is no evidence of a government ban in the UK.

Have you read any of her work?

I read Fountainhead and some of her essays.
