Mean Girl: Ayn Rand and the Culture of Greed

"If you want to understand what’s lurking behind the cruelty we’re seeing in the US political arena, try Mean Girl: Ayn Rand and the Culture of Greed by Lisa Duggan. This short, very readable book makes the link between the novelist/philosopher’s rather nasty attacks on concern for others and right-wing America’s contemporary greed and disdain towards the poor and those in need."
