Mean girl : Ayn Rand and the culture of greed
\"Ayn Rand's complicated notoriety as popular writer, leader of a political and philosophical cult, reviled intellectual, and ostentatious public figure followed her beyond her death in 1982. In the twenty-first century, she has been resurrected as a serious reference point for mainstream figures, especially--but not only--those on the political right from Paul Ryan to Donald Trump. Mean Girl traces the posthumous appeal and influence of Rand's novels via her cruel, surly, sexy heroes, outlining the impact of her philosophy of selfishness. Following Rand's trail through the twentieth century from the Russian Revolution to the Cold War, Mean Girl illuminates the Randian shape of our neoliberal, contemporary culture of greed and the dilemmas we face in our political present\"--Provided by publisher.

Ayn Rand's Objectivist Ethics Applied to Video Game Business
This article analyzes the business ethics of digital games, using Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism. It identifies different types of monetization options as virtuous or nonvirtuous, based on Rand's views on rational self-interest. It divides the options into ethical Mover and unethical Looter designs, presents those logics in relation to an illustrative case example, Zynga, and then discusses a view on the role of players in relation to game monetization designs. Through our analysis of monetization options in the context of Objectivist ethics, the article contributes to discussions on game revenue ethics. It also expands the still understudied area of applying Rand's ethics to business, in the context of a new sector, game development, and business. This research enables ethicists to apply a wider-than-before perspective on virtue ethics to online business, and helps game developers act in a virtuous manner, which provides them with a long-term business advantage.

من أجل مفكر الجديد
هذا هو تحدي آين راند للمذاهب الفلسفية السائدة في عصرنا و\"جو الذنب والذعر واليأس والملل والتهرب الشامل\" التي تخلقها. واحدة من أكثر الشخصيات إثارة للجدل في المشهد الفكري، كانت آين راند من دعاة الفلسفة الأخلاقية-أخلاقيات المصلحة الذاتية العقلانية التي تقف في تناقض حاد مع أخلاقيات الإيثار والتضحية بالنفس. أسس هذه الأخلاق : \"فلسفة للعيش على الأرض\" تم تحديدها هنا بشكل حيوي من قبل المتحدث باسم طبقة جديدة للمثقف الجديد.
