Ayn Rand (February 2, 1905–March 6, 1982; first name pronounced (IPA) /aɪn/ (rhymes with `mine`)), born Alissa Zinovievna Rosenbaum, was best known for her philosophy of Objectivism and her novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Her philosophy and her fiction both emphasize, above all, her concepts of individualism, rational egoism ("rational self-interest"), and capitalism.
