Karen,
I read Atlas Shrugged in 1987. After finishing it I wondered where such a skewed picture could emanate from.
Ayn Rand was born in the Soviet Union. Her highly negative view of community was born from the warped view she got in the Soviet Union.
But, her extreme focus on the individual was just as sick and dysfunctional as Soviet Russia was.
There are no children in her created worlds. Plenty of sex. Her family’s pharmacy business was taken by the state when she was a teen. She had sisters in Russia she never connected with again after she left.
So very sad...
