5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant satire...just as funny as It Usually Begins...,
By A Customer
This review is from: It Still Begins With Ayn Rand (Paperback)
Tuccille has done it again. It Usually Begins With Ayn Rand was a hilarious political satire, and the sequel, It Still Begins With Ayn Rand, is every bit as funny and on target as its predecessor. My only regret is that it took Tuccille 26 years to write the sequel. However, for anyone who wants a truly original, off-beat history of U.S. politics from 1974 through the present day, this is a must read.Joseph Walsh

5.0 out of 5 stars
It never began with Ayn Rand.,
By A Customer
This review is from: It Still Begins With Ayn Rand (Paperback)
This is a very funny book. But don't kid yourselves, folks - classical liberalism didn't begin with Ayn Rand, it began a very long time ago in Western religious tradition. Since Rand hated religion, she kept (some of) the conclusions and worked backwards to reach her (bad) arguments. The result is a sort of bastard philosophy that takes a Marxist/Leninist view of reality, dresses it up in religious language, and retains the conclusions of the religious traditions Rand rejected. Read John Robbins' Without A Prayer: Ayn Rand And The Close Of Her System to see through Rand's contradictions and learn where it REALLY began.
