After switching from conservatism to communism and then finally taking the anarchist pill, I think libertarianism is my real ideology after reading Ayn Rand. Wealth is the product of a man's capacity to think. In the end, money is the be all end all of society. The axioms she begins her philosophy are pretty falacious though. The idea that she could derive them in any way other than empirically is delusional and specifically the axiom of identity is a flat non-sequitur. We have awareness of an objects appearance within our own intuitions, not the objects in and of themselves. In fact we are not even aware of ourselves to a certain degree, as our internal sense is only made aware to us through external representation (see children not recognising themselves in mirrors until about 3 years old).
Money is the medium of exchange. You can exchange other goods, or a service, or an expectant reciprocation as is veneration in exchange for teaching, respect for householding (family), good vibes for a blowjob, etc

She isn’t championed in “the world of philosophy;” every professor I’ve ever had thinks she’s a wrong in dozens of basic ways. The only people who champion Rand are people who don’t understand philosophy well enough to see how deep the flaws in her thinking go.
So you're a liberal centrist big brain that thinks they don't have no ideology taking the piss out of

Probably won't exist in the future. Ultra affluent and/or ordered societies will have no need of it

Assuming that you're not baiting, please do not waste your time reading Rand. If you are below the age of 16 it might be okay, but if not you're only going to embarrass yourself. Her legacy is propped up entirely by edgy children and half-wit American politicians. Anybody who's spent any serious amount of time with political philosophy understands how much of a joke she is.
