From the Dust Jacket:
"In the introductory essay 'For the New Intellectual' -- a tour de force of psychological-philosophical interpretation -- Ayn Rand offers an analysis of Western culture, the causes of its progress, its decline, its present crisis, and the road to an intellectual renaissance."
"What is the essence of her philosophy? That man's mind is fully competent to perceive reality -- that reason is man's exclusive tool of knowledge and his only guide to action -- that man is an end to himself, not a means to the ends of others, and that rational self-interest is the moral purpose of his life -- that justice, not self-sacrifice, is the proper principle of social relationships -- that 'a free mind and a free market are corollaries,' and their politico-economic expression is laissez-faire capitalism."
