THE QUESTION

RESPONSES

BACKGROUND

Lots of people are turned off by Atlas Shrugged because of its political views, but love The Fountainhead.

Coates is right that Rand's philosophy is not primarily about politics. It's largely her own fault that a lot of people get that misimpression. There's far too much on that subject, and too little on others, in her writing.
