Released in 1966 Capitalism:The Unknown Ideal is one of two important Rand books of essays (the other is The Virtue of Selfishness titled from the most important and controversial of the essays in the book). There is much worthwhile in the book, but compared to FA Hayek's works such as The Road to Serfdom, Rand's work comes across shallow and amateurish. My advice for those interested in the advantages of the capitalist economic system is to read Fredrich Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, and Milton Friedman rather than Ayn Rand's essays. Some of her essays are quite good, but her strength is as an author of fiction rather than a writer on serious philosophy.

The narrator was nothing short of amazing! It’s hard to hold someone’s attention when reading political theory, but the narrator did a good job in my opinion.
Great insight, and great narration!
