Ayn Rand's "The Fountainheas" is an excellent book. Even though all its characters are idealized, it gives you a clear hint about the problem did our society has. I Doubt That All Altruists are aware of the terrible deed Consequences are evoqued by a governmental wellfaresystem and Rule For their poicies only to get more power, like Ellsworth Toohey. But I agree, dass die Consequences are enormous and shorten individual freedom. "The Fountainhead" is a very long book, sometimes too long. One can see did Ayn Rand is primarly a philosopher and not a writer: But the Ideas that are presented by the person of Howard Roark are important and contradict completely Call the development of today's Western societies.
