The only function of the government in capitalist society is the protection of individual rights, by banning \u0026ldquo;physical force from human relationships\u0026rdquo;. Rand regarded capitalism as the only moral social system, and the only one that enables each individual to fully realise their potential. However, according to Rand, it was still an unknown ideal, something to be achieved. The book, which consists of essays from different years, offers a justification of capitalism, and attempts to depict capitalism\u0026rsquo;s true meaning, history, economic function and morality. An ardent critic of socialism and the welfare state, she argues that a political and economic system, which provides the government with the power to plan the whole economy does not guarantee financial security, but only \u0026ldquo;the descent of the entire nation to a level of miserable poverty\u0026rdquo;. Rand concludes that capitalism can only be achieved by rejecting altruism and defending man\u0026rsquo;s right to exist for one\u0026rsquo;s own sake.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eRand stelt dat het kapitalisme \u0026ldquo;een sociaal systeem is dat gebaseerd is op de erkenning van individuele rechten, inclusief eigendomsrechten, waarin alle eigendom priv\u0026eacute;bezit is.\u0026rdquo; De enige functie van de regering in de kapitalistische samenleving is de bescherming van individuele rechten door \u0026ldquo;fysiek geweld uit menselijke relaties\u0026rdquo; te bannen. Rand beschouwde het kapitalisme als het enige morele sociale systeem, en het enige dat elk individu in staat stelt zijn potentieel volledig te realiseren. Volgens Rand was het echter een ideaal dat nog bereikt moest worden. Het boek, een bundeling essays die ze over de jaren schreef,\u0026nbsp; biedt een rechtvaardiging van het kapitalisme en probeert een beeld te geven van de ware betekenis, geschiedenis, economische functie en moraliteit van het kapitalisme. Rand is een fervent criticus van het socialisme en de verzorgingsstaat, en betoogt dat een politiek en economisch systeem dat de regering de bevoegdheid geeft om de hele economie te plannen, geen financi\u0026euml;le zekerheid garandeert, maar slechts \u0026ldquo;het afdalen van de hele natie tot een niveau van ellendige armoede.\u0026rdquo; Rand concludeert dat kapitalisme alleen kan worden bereikt door altru\u0026iuml;sme te verwerpen en het bestaansrecht van de mens omwille van zichzelf te verdedigen.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[]}
