Rand's most compelling work.
That's barely a compliment. Like everything else she wrote it's still a bland, transparent, and formulaic sales pitch for a self-help program that's only unique in its frank admission of catering to socially stunted individual's unexpressed aggression and ruthlessness.

If there's one thing I'll give Rand credit for, it's attempting to carry and build off of Nietzsche's works and extend them further when he had no other successors. Keyword being TRY.

I don't believe he would've sanctioned the virtue of Selfishness overall however.
