Books - The Virtue of Selfishness


The Virtue of Selfishness is a 1964 collection of essays and papers by Ayn Rand and Nathaniel Branden. The book covers several issues of the Objectivist philosophy of Ayn Rand. Some of its themes include the proper function and funding of government; the true nature of selfishness and its role in ethics; and the evils of compromise and altruism being practiced as virtues.

The book was selected as the greatest non-fiction book of the Twentieth Century in a Modern Library reader's poll. Cynics allege that this is probably the result of what they see as "cultists" "stuffing the ballot box".
