This is about as polarizing a question - "Is Ayn Rand overrated?" - as speaking about abortion, Ronald Reagan, Clinton/Bush, Republican/Democrat, Yankees/Red Sox, etc.
BUT -
Yes, she's overrated - and no, in terms of her INFLUENCE, she's UNDERrated.
IMHO, if you want to "understand" Ayn Rand relatively quickly and succinctly, then read "The Virtue Of Selfishness". The title says it all, actually.
So there ya go - now you understand Ayn Rand. "If everyone was selfish and ONLY concerned themselves WITH THEIR OWN desires, needs, etc then no one would be NEEDY and everything would be perfect."
Fuck her, the heartless cunt, and anyone who believes in that kind of bullshit.
Discuss.
