The Virtue of Selfishness: A New Concept of Egoism by Ayn Rand

5.0

It's amazing to think how much of this book feels like common sense after reading it. The rights of the individual, aka the smallest minority, are the most important to protect. This is the sole purpose of government: to protect any man from a violation of his individual rights infringed upon by any other man. The government accomplishes this by having a monopoly on violence. The idea that any group or any state can have rights is a ridiculous idea.

I invite anybody who believes that affirmative action, minimum wage, reparations, or many other left wing ideas and ideals to read this book and challenge Ayn and Nathan's writings.
