Capitalism
The Unknown Ideal
Summary:
The book is a collection of essays that argue in favor of laissez-faire capitalism as the only moral and practical social system. It criticizes government intervention in the economy, champions individual rights and free markets, and presents Rand's philosophy of Objectivism as the foundation for ethical capitalism.
Key points:
1. Capitalism's Morality: Ayn Rand believes capitalism is moral because it respects individual rights, allowing people to make their own choices and keep what they earn. She thinks this freedom is key to personal happiness and moral health.
