Book Reviews of Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal

Book Review: I Didn't Know!
Summary: 5 Stars

For the longest time I was against Capitalism. I had it all wrong. This book opened my eyes. I thought it was based on greed, but now I know it is based on competition. Now I see that this is what our forefathers were going for, and now I can understand why. But our Capitalist country has been taken away from us, bit by bit, starting with Roosevelt's New Deal. We voted for all the wrong things, and our representatives never stopped to explain to us that we were wrong. They liked the power. Now we have given them the power to be fascists. I just wish Ayn had written a book to teach us how to take back the mess we've made for ourselves. Sigh.

Summary of Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal

The foundations of capitalism are being battered by a flood of altruism, which is the cause of the modern world's collapse. This is the view of Ayn Rand, a view so radically opposed to prevailing attitudes that it constitutes a major philosophic revolution. In this series of essays, she presents her stand on the persecution of big business, the causes of war, the default of conservatism, and the evils of altruism. Here is a challenging new look at modern society by one of the most provocative intellectuals on the American scene.This edition includes two articles by Ayn Rand which did not appear in the hardcover edition: The Wreckage of the Consensus," which presents the Objectivists views on Vietnam and the draft; and Requiem for Man," an answer to the Papal encyclical Progresso Populorum.
