Ayn Rand was basically trash. I know libertarians sleep with her books, but honestly she was a rather wretched 'thinker'.
Anyone with that level of influence, you need to try to get at what went right. In this case I think it was packaging modernist aesthetic theory in middlebrow novels

Rand fetishised egoistic sociopaths beginning with William Hickman and made protagonists out of them. Somewhat original, but then so was Harry Potter apparently.
