The Ayn Rand cult cover

The Ayn Rand cult

by Jeff Walker

The author explains the origin of the ideas of Ayn Rand and exposes "Objectivism as a classic cult, unusual because of its overt emphasis on self-interest, rationality, and atheism, but typical of cults in its guru-worship, thought control, trial and excommuciation of deviants, and hostility to existing society."--Cover.
