DESCRIPTION:
. With the publication of The Fountainhead in 1943, she achieved a spectacular and enduring success and her unique philosophy, objectivism, gained a worldwide following. She published her first novel in 1936. AYN RAND (1905-1982) was born in Russia, graduated from the University of Leningrad, and came to the United States in 1926
The movement achieved limited political success but it brought about vast cultural changes that remain with us today because it faced little or no fundamental intellectual opposition. Return of the Primitive is an expanded edition of that original book and contains Rand's two additional essays 'Racism' and 'Global Balkanization.' Also featured are three essays written after her death by Peter Schwartz, analyzing some of the ideologies that the New Left helped spawn, such as multiculturalism and environmentalism.. For those who seek to understand the state of American culture today, Return of the Primitive is required reading. Ayn Rand was the exception, and she opposed the New Left in her 1971 anthology of essays The New Left: The Anti-Industrial Revolution. The New Left cultural movement of the 1960s and early 1970s condemned everything America stood for: individualism, material wealth, science, technology, capitalism
A wise woman once said Ayn Rand is a remarkable woman. She can point out salient features of social movements and where their destructive ideas came from - jealousy of the strong and willing. This book is talking about what is going on behind the scenes of politics and the motives for ridding America of indus.

Worth a "Re-Read" Ron I originally read this book a couple of years ago. In light of recent events in our country I went back and read it again. It is astounding how Ayn Rand brings the New Left into clear focus in this book. I have read several of Ayn Rand's books including "Atlas Shrugged", "We the Living"
She has a subtle and ingenious mind and the capacity of writing brilliantly, beautifully, bitterly.'' --New York Times Book Review. ''Ayn Rand is destined to rank in history as the outstanding novelist and most profound philosopher of the twentieth century.'' --New York Daily Mirror''Ayn Rand is a writer of great power
