First Edition, #417/700 boxed copies Signed by Rand. The book Outwardly appears fine but the previous owner has decorated the front endpapers by taping or pasting the flyleafs with news clippings, his name plate, an Ayn Rand Postage Stamp & the American flag. Additionally his name is stamped at the bottom edge of the page block & blind stamped on the half title page and the final page of the book. The box has minor dusting but is otherwise about Fine. The book has been well cared for & is otherwise unmarked but the graffiti on the flyleafs makes you shake your head & wonder what possessed the original owner of this book.

1967, mass market paperback reprint edition, Signet / NAL, NY. 349 pages. Note: the material here is 90+ Ayn Rand; there are, however, additional articles by Nathaniel Branden, Alan Greenspan, and Robert Hessen. There are very few titles that literally jar the reader, spinning your head around in the process. I certainly recall Generation of Vipers, which had little good to say about mothers; Latins Make Lousy Lovers, which definitely put a different spin on things at the time; and this book, Capitalism, which had everything to say about altruism. Rand's philosophy is contained here. You may not agree with her findings, but her statements will challenge you, for sure.

The foundations of capitalism are being battered by a flood of altruism, which is the cause of the modern world's collapse. This was the view of Ayn Rand in 1946, a view so radically opposed to prevailing attitudes that it constituted a major philosophic revolution. This 1967 edition includes two additional articles not included in the hardcover edition: "The Wreckage of the Consensus," and "Requiem for Man."
