Ayn Rand is best known for her four novels: We the Living, Anthem, The Fountainhead, and her magnum opus, Atlas Shrugged. Her brilliant nonfiction, however, contains essays ranging across a broad spectrum of thought, among them ethics and political philosophy. From the perspective of constitutional lawyer, Holzer says, "no American political philosopher has written more illuminating essays than Rand's Man's Rights, Collectivized Rights, and The Nature of Government. Ayn Rand was a friend and client of the Holzers, Apart from conducting legal business, much of their time together was spent discussing political philosophy in general, and constitutional law in particular. Ayn Rand's influence on Holzer's thinking is evident in this book. Contributor Bio:  Bork, Robert H Robert H.
