Who needs philosophy? Ayn Rand's answer: Everyone. This collection of essays was the last work planned by Ayn Rand before her death in 1982. In it, she summarizes her view of philosophy and deals with a broad spectrum of topics.

You probably remember how it went when you were a kid: If your family was typical, your mother said “Don’t fight,” but your father said “Don’t lose.” And that was the end of it. With all due respect to Mom and Dad, this advice is little help in a hypercomplex world that’s teetering on the edge of social and ecological collapse.

Gripped by confusion, fear and outrage, we feel the need to act, but we don’t even know the fundamentals: what to ...
