CAPITALISM: THE UNKNOWN IDEAL is a rousing defense of capitalism by Ayn Rand and other leading Objectivists. In a series of essays the Objectivists define their stand on the capitalistic system, a stand that is so radically opposed to prevailing attitudes that it constitutes a major philosophic revolution.---- Miss Rand, author of Atlas Shrugged and one of the most widely discussed and influential figures on the intellectual scene today, states that the laissez-faire capitalistic system is the only moral system in history, one that has brought greater benefits to mankind than any other politicoeconomic order. But Miss Rand gives ominous warning that capitalism is still the unknown ideal-that its potentials have never been fully realized and that its very fabric is being destroyed by altruism.----Stressing the fact that they are not conservatives, but "radicals for capitalism," the Objectivists launch a major attack against altruism, in the name of man's right to exist. Their chief concern is not economics, notthe "practical" aspects of capitalism, but its unrecognized moral nature. Capitalism, they claim, is perishing for lack of a moral base. -----This important and incendiary book proposes to fill that vacuum as the Objectivists present their views on such issues as the student rebellion, the persecution of big business, the causes of war, the death of conservatism. Their essays offer a thought-provoking new look at our society ... and a moral and philosophical defense of capitalism as the only system suitable to the life of a rational being. -----AYN RAND, author of Atlas Shrugged, the most explosively challenging bestseller of the decade, has allways wanted to be a writer. Born in Russia and educated under the Soviets, Miss Rand graduated from the University of Leningrad and came to the United States in 1926. She worked at various jobs in Hollywood, completing her first novel, We the Living, in 1936. With the publication of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged-the world-famous novels in which she first expressed the unique philosophy of Objectivism Miss Rand's ideas gained a worldwide audience. In answer to the demand of her followers, Nathaniel Branderi Institute, a special school that gives courses in Objectivism, was established in New York and eighty other cities. The fundamentals of Objectivism are set forth in two nonfiction works, For the New Intellectual (1961) and The Virtue of Selfishness (1964). In 1962, Miss Rand and Mr. Branden, as coeditors. began the publication of The Objectivist, a monthly journal devoted to the application of the new philosophy to contemporary problems. Miss Rand lives in New York with her husband, artist Frank O'Connor.----.
