Ayn Rand was an American author and philosopher famous for creating Objectivism, a philosophical system that emphasizes reason over faith and religion. She gained popularity through her novels “The Fountainhead” and “Atlas Shrugged” before turning to non-fiction to further promote her ideas. Rand supported rational egoism, opposed the use of force in politics, and advocated for laissez-faire capitalism and romantic realism in art. Although her works received mixed reviews, they have sold over 37 million copies and have influenced certain right-libertarians and conservatives.
