Ayn Rand was a controversial Writer in the 1950's, 60's, & 70's. She brought up some great points re freedom & government waste. But had a large aversion to needed state involvement in people's lives. The Myths of Hustle Culture & the Self-Made Person contributed heavily to her popularity in the 1950's. But we still need a Social Safety Net such as the programs of Social Security, SSI, SSDI, Medicare, & Medicaid. I did a video re this on You Tube & Rumble with the same title. Rand's legacy may be as a promoter of Free Speech just like Charlie Kirk & Taylor Caldwell. Most of her ideas are a whole other subject.
