After reading The Fountainhead and discussing author Ayn Rand at great lengths I decided to read further into Ayn Rand. Ayn Rand’s ability to surprise me continue to shock me. Her relevance today is still present not only in economics but politics as well. Political leaders like Ted Cruz and Paul Ryan have expressed their support of her ideals. The Washington Post recently posted an article about how Donald Trump is a huge Rand supporter and how his opinions and choices expresses Rand’s philosophy. The intriguing idea though is experts in Rand’s philosophy hold the view that Rand would reject Trump, and most politicians today. According to Onkar Ghate, a reported Rand export states Rand would view Trump as part of the anti-intellectual movement.
