The Ayn Rand Lexicon

February 27, 2009 by Jeff Scialabba

The Ayn Rand Lexicon is a wide-ranging guide to the thought of Ayn Rand. Drawing from Ayn Rand’s works, in particular her extensive nonfiction writings, the Lexicon presents penetrating insights by Ayn Rand on hundreds of subjects, from Keynesian economics to democracy to abortion to atheism–from laissez-faire capitalism to religious conservatives to environmentalist liberals. Each entry, in addition to providing important passages from Ayn Rand’s writings, also directs readers to the original source material which they can consult for a more thorough treatment of the issue.

Of value to the newcomer as an introductory text and to the experienced as a reference, the Lexicon is a resource for anyone interested in learning more about Ayn Rand’s unique perspective.
