Even before the ascension to public consciousness of a right-wing libertarian named Rand, Ayn Rand has been a hot topic of conversation. From threats from the right to "Go Galt" after Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" hero to the downfall of Alan Greenspan, the fingerprints of the novelist/philosopher/heroine of freemarketeers everywhere have been all over the last couple of years in U.S. politics. Just what was it about Ayn Rand that attracted so many followers, and what is it about her books that keeps them flying off the shelves? We ask Corey Robin, Brooklyn College professor and author of a new piece on Rand at The Nation, and Eesha Pandit, feminist philosopher and Director of Advocacy at MergerWatch, to tell us what everyone sees in Ayn Rand, and explain why we should be concerned about her influence.
