4 . Politics : Capitalism through the performance of deeds by individuals who are selfinterested .
In the early 1960 ' s , a student asked a spokesman for Objectivism what would happen to the poor in an Objectivist ' s free society .
The spokesman answered , " If you want to help them , you will not be stopped ."
If one reads Rand ' s works , Atlas Shrugged , or The Fountainhead , one will conclude that this would be the answer Ayn would have given to that student as well .
What do you conclude from the answer given by the Objectivist spokesperson ? Is Objectivism , like Moral Relativism , the opposite of ethics ? And what clue in what she taught leads to your conclusion ?
