Этим подлецам, которые с самодовольной ухмылкой заявляют, что не видят разницы между властью доллара и властью кнута, следовало бы испытать ее на собственной шкуре. Я думаю, так и случится. Если вы не откроете для себя той истины, что деньги — корень всего доброго, что есть в мире, вы придете к собственному разрушению. Когда деньги станут инструментом отношений между людьми, человек станет инструментом человека. Выбирайте: кровь, кнут и оружие или доллары, другого не дано, и ваше время истекает…

герой Франсиско д’Анкония, глава "Аристократия блата", часть 2 "Или или", Атлант расправил плечи, Айн Рэнд.

Employing Ayn Rand's Philosophy

I always wondered what Ayn Rand would think of the ancient Phalanx system, and how people would interpret it.  I find that many people struggle with her precept that looking out for oneself will result in a better society, we try and understand how basic tenants of society, such as trust, fit with her philosophy.  

A phalanx required that your shield protected the solder to your left, and that you trusted the man to the right to protect you with his shield.  It is widely agreed that the phalanx was successful in war, and so how does her philosophy account for this concept of, 'protect the man to your left before you protect yourself'?  

I don't believe Ayn Rand had a good answer for this.  I've sat in discussions with the Atlas society in Washington and tried to tackle this by suggesting that if you know helping someone else will help yourself, much like the phalanx, then it is in your self interest.  Unfortunately this requires trust, which is too close to Altruism, and so the concept is lost.

I do believe the best lesson you can take from Ayn's work is that people abuse systems, abuse trust, abuse altruism, to take for themselves.  These people are not the 'doers' of society, they are the parasites.  Never trust people who's first instinct is to 'game a system'.

Unfortunately, the characters she creates are impossibly extreme; either impossibly capable or impossibly parasitic.  No one can pay attention to all things all the time, people are good at some things and not as good at others.  As a result, people with good intentions, who are good at what they do, may come across as parasitic to others. 

To best follow her philosophy we must surround ourselves with people who, from our perspective, are 'doers', people who help us achieve our visions.
