Alan Greenspan  |Atheism  |Atlas Shrugged  |The Fountainhead  |Capitalism  |Egoism  |Personal life  | In the ideal world of Ayn Rand, the only appropriate relationship between men is the trading of value to each other.

Everyone would be compensated for their skill in producing goods and services and keeping the machinery of business running. Their worth would be determined by how well they did their jobs.
