Ayn Rand is an interesting thinker as she is one of the few philosophers to present her view in novel form, one of the few intellectuals to advocate free-market capitalism as an ethical imperative, and one of a few women who lead where men fear to follow! If you are looking for a starting point or ‘way in’ to her thought, I’d suggest her novel The Fountainhead or, after that, Atlas Shrugged. They are epic, thought-altering calls-to-arms against the current cult of collective mediocrity! Thanks for the comment Ruth.

I tend to agree with you, not everyone has the same skillset and often the heroes are those who raise themselves up from whever their starting point is...as opposed to those who climb the highest in life. Will be looking up Ayn Rand to find out more about their philosophy. Really enjoyed this post Dawn.
