Review:
"The volumes in this timely series comprise the most comprehensive bodyof material on conservative and libertarian thought yet published in asingle project devoted to the subject. The series will prove anindispensable tool not only for those concerned with the history ofpolitical thought but also for those who confront the challenging taskof constructing a viable contemporary conservative identity. ProfessorMeadowcroft had a difficult editorial task, to which he has respondedwith a judicious choice of thinkers and topics." Noel O'Sullivan,Professor of Political Philosophy, the University of Hull, UK.
"Best known as a novelist, Ayn Rand was the founder of the philosophic school of Objectivism and an influential advocate of free market capitalism. In this book, Gladstein examines Rand's life and work, detailing her belief in the moral supremacy of individualism over collectivism and highlighting her contributions to libertarian thought. The book also looks at how Rand's work was received during her lifetime and at its continuing relevance in the contemporary world." -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.
