All this week, the Reason Foundation is celebrating the "freedom and ideas of Ayn Rand", so I thought I'd celebrate a little too. I'm debating between either building a railroad in my backyard or writing a philosophical treatise, recording it, and posting it on YouTube (that's the modern equivalent of a radio broadcast, right?).
Either way, lets get the week started with Nick Gillespie, who takes a look at the enduring power of Rand, who has been referenced on everything from Mad Men to The Simpsons.
Gillespie also penned this article that examines Rand's life, her work, and the two new biographies that have been written about her.
If you still want more about Rand, from Gillespie, he wrote a similar story more than four years ago about the continued influence of Rand in American culture and politics.
Or, if you're tired of being too serious about Rand, you can check out this entertaining flow-chart (and how I love flow-charts) that serves as an easy how-to guide to become a Randian hero. The rest of the page is pretty entertaining too.
And by the way, Ayn rhymes with pine.
