I've already read all of Ayn Rand's stuff (in high school). Now that she's dead, I don't think she is producing any more material. And she was the only original writer and thinker in the movement.HFNY said:You gotta get out more, read some more, and open your mind. Just as the left has tacked harder left and Trump is having his way with the Republicans, Libertarians have become more pragmatic.

Actually, her fiction books were on a reading list we had in 11th grade English Lit, so I read all 4. I read her non-fiction stuff after that. At the time, I didn't view it as conservative, I viewed it as atheist, so I really liked it.2001400ex said:
