Ayn Rand

[asterroc]

I haven't ever read Ayn Rand, and I have no intention of doing so. However, I am told that the author of the series I am currently reading, Terry Goodkind, is heavily influenced by her works, and her concepts of "objectivism" and "enlightened self interest." Anyone care to explain these concepts to me in shorter form?

Wow... it sounds like not only did he rip off "The Fountainhead", he delivered its central message in an even cruder way than Rand did. And that's no easy thing to do.
