For the New Intellectual (audiobook mp3)

';Ideas are the greatest and most crucially practical power on earth.'Ayn RandOne of the most controversial figures on the intellectual scene, Ayn Rand was the proponent of a moral philosophy of rational self-interest that stands in sharp opposition to the ethics of altruism and self-sacrifice. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide following. The fundamentals of this morality are vibrantly set forth here by this spokesman for a new class of intellectual. For the New Intellectual is Ayn Rand's challenge to the prevalent philosophical doctrines of our time and the ';atmosphere of guilt, of panic, of despair, of boredom, and of all-pervasive evasion' that they create.
