Synopsis
A collection of essays and a manifesto in which Ayn Rand argues that rational self-interest is the only moral code, and that altruism is a destructive ideology. The core of the book is a systematic defense of Objectivism, and its most famous chapter, 'The Virtue of Selfishness,' asserts that the pursuit of one's own happiness is the highest moral purpose.
