Book Reviews of Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal

Book Review: A must for political moderates and socialists.........
Summary: 4 Stars

Ayn Rand's political and economic philosophies are not much different than the libertarian's platform. Although at times Rand seems to be repitive, she is still able to convey the importance of a free market economy, and the dangers of government interference. The book is definitely worth a read for those who adhere to a mixed or socialist economy philosophy. However, as a graduate of economics, I must complain about the utter lack of empiricism in the book and some misinterpretations of the Sherman Antitrust laws.
