Part of the German Jewish 'artistocracy', the Ochs and the Sulzbergers lived in a world where Jewish identity was ambiguous. But it was also a world where access to the famous and the powerful was a routine experience.

The most famous woman philosopher of the twentieth century presents her philosophy through novels. Atlas Shrugged is her monumental work.

Hating communism, she developed an individualist philosophy of life, which elevated personal happiness and survival as the supreme ethical values. She was the first philosopher to make a virtue out of selfishness.
