Ayn Rand
Ayn Rand, née Alissa Zinovievna Rosenbaum en 1905 à Saint-Pétersbourg et morte en 1982 à New York, est une romancière et philosophe américaine d'origine russe. Figure majeure du courant libertarien, elle est surtout connue pour sa philosophie **objectiviste**, qui prône la raison, l'individualisme et l'égoïsme rationnel. Son œuvre la plus célèbre, *La Grève* (*Atlas Shrugged*), publié en 1957, est considéré comme l'un des livres les plus influents du XXe siècle aux États-Unis. Ayn Rand a marqué la culture américaine par ses prises de position radicales contre le collectivisme et l'étatisme, inspirées par son expérience de la révolution bolchevique.
