Ayn Rand? Are you serious? The woman was a demagogue, a hypocrite, and a racist homophobe among her other charming qualities. Her "philosophy" of selfishness and greed was based on a worldview of hatred, suspicion, and class warfare, and even then is self-contradictory in many ways and completely meritless in every way. Rand's legacy is one of rationalization for the misguided, unethical, immoral actions of self-centered jackasses who all think they are the ubermensch. The reason she is completely ignored is because she was a horrible human being, who did nothing but make the world a worse place.
